“Iconic Mumbai landmark, royal treatment”
The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai is a 1902 icon by the Gateway of India — beautiful architecture, a historic luxurious atmosphere and staff called impeccable and patient, even across language barriers. Guests love the gorgeous pool area, gym and morning yoga, a rich breakfast, a praised dessert shop and thoughtful keepsakes like postcards and a farewell coin; beds suit even light sleepers. The recurring downside is sound: rooms do not insulate well, with footsteps overhead, hallway traffic and car horns bothering more than one guest at night.
