Stayed at the Palace for three nights with my family. From the minute we were welcomed in, the staff were warm and courteous and were always all smiles.
We stayed in the palace in the fifth floor. The rooms are large and filled with gorgeous art. The view of the Gateway of India was absolutely breathtaking. The washroom was luxurious with a very nice bathtub and shower. The beds were extremely comfortable and they had a lovely selection of tea and other toiletries to make our stay very pleasant. There were gorgeous fresh flowers in our room always and were so nice to wake up to. I even visited the gym, which was very nicely equipped with all you’d need plus they had a nice selection of refreshing wild waters to top it all off.
The breakfast spread was enormous and well thought out with Indian food, freshly baked bread, a lovely selection of eggs to order and chocolate pancakes ( which I highly recommend you try! ).
My grandfather found some lovely hot Jalebis ( A decadent Indian dessert) for Sunday brunch buffet which we were really hoping for the next day. When I asked, they said it was just for Sundays but instead the Chef made a special Rasmalai ( An equally delightful Indian dessert! ) just for my grandfather which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Truly, no other hotel does hospitality like the Taj.
We came with high expectations, since this hotel is known to be one of the best in India, and I can gladly say that the lives up to all our high expectations and more.
