Magnificently poised on the Western shores of Mumbai, facing the Arabian Sea and the imposing Gateway of India is one of the city’s most prized possessions- The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower- the ultimate word in 5 star luxury and old world elegance. The Taj as it is fondly known, is part of the Indian Hotels Group which is owned by the Tata Group of Companies.
Since its birth in 1903, this 107 year-old grande dame of hospitality and luxury has played gracious hostess to many icons of the last century. From the Royal family of the UK and the Beatles to India’s first dynamic Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and various international cricket teams, The Taj, exemplifies the very spirit of warm hospitality that India is famous for.
Reflecting the mellifluous harmony of Moorish architecture, Oriental and Florentine styles, The Taj houses within every nook and cranny a piece of history that has been instrumental in India’s journey from colonialism to independence. Along its many corridors and upon its imposing walls, there is an impressive collection of original classic and contemporary art spanning various disciplines and periods.
The hotel itself is a work of art, with alabaster ceilings, a grand cantilevered silk and scarlet-carpeted staircase, onyx columns and beautiful marble inlaid flooring.
With 565 rooms including 46 suites, 11 banquet rooms and 6 fully-equipped meeting rooms, The Taj is designed as a world unto itself. Restaurants par excellence cater to every kind of cuisine and spas relieve your stress at the end of the day.
The three days of the Global Economic Summit on Trade & Investment 2010, from Jan 20 to 22, will be conducted at the impressive Chambers Terrace on the first floor and B2B meetings will be arranged at the Gateway Room.
