The Taj Mahal Palace was opened in December 1903 by the wealthy businessman Tata and has become the go-to hotel for visiting heads of state and dignitaries ever since. The building itself is stunning and the pool area is unforgettable. Even if you don't stay there, I'd suggest visiting if you're in Mumbai. The recently added modern concrete tower breaks the aesthetic harmony a little, though.
The Taj Mahal Palace is located on the waterfront promenade is one of the most famous hotels in Bombay. The sea view is not exactly spectacular as the water is dark and somewhat polluted, but it's worth taking a walk around the building and admiring its architecture. The Gateway of India, another must-see, is right across the street. In the same square, you can also buy tickets for a trip to Elephanta Island.
Sitauted in south Mumbai, the hotel offers many dining options as it has 7 restaurants, each of them offering local cuisine and international dishes. It also has superior rooms and suites that are fully equipped, including luxury amenities.
The Strand Hotel is situated in the biggest city of India, Bombay. It has 36 big rooms fully accommodated with private bathrooms, ceiling fans, blackout curtains, classic furniture and housekeeping. Designed for an exotic vacation and with all the necessary services for your convenience: concierge, laundry and multilingual staff ... It is a great choice of place to stay to enjoy this amazing and mysterious country. It also has a perfect location as it is close to Gateway of India, Prince of Wales Museum and Marine Drive.
