Incredible hospitality from everyone we met. Luxurious room with terrace and restaurants were excellent. We had moved from another hotel that wasn't good and this made all the difference in the world. Thank you for a memorable stay.

We loved our stay, the food, the incredibly helpful staff members and just everything about this hotel! We will stay at the Taj again! They even packed us six breakfast boxes to go since we left at 5:30 AM and those boxes were lifesavers!

Excellent room, overall ambiance and restaurant food quality.
Concierge very helpful.
Breakfast service was a bit relaxed for my liking but that's probably because I never leave enough time!
