The Taj - a legendary experience in hospitality for more than 100 years

The Taj hotel is the one name that flashes into everyone’s mind about India, when it comes to luxury hotels. Being the pioneers, Taj hotels have acquainted guests with the living heritage of India and a legendary experience in hospitality for more than 100 years.

The legacy of Taj began on December 16, 1903, when Jamshet Tata opened Taj’s first hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai. This grand hotel epitomized a philosophy that still holds true today: provide impeccable service and unparalleled facilities so every stay is a memorable one.

India's premier business house, Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces comprises of 56 hotels in 39 locations across India with an additional 17 international hotels in the Maldives, Mauritius, Malaysia, Seychelles, UK, USA, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Africa, and the Middle East. Over the years, Taj has won international acclaim for its quality hotels and its excellence in dining, business facilities, interiors, and world-class, personalized service.

Taj hotels are divided into three wide categories for different requirements of their customers. They are Taj business hotels, Taj leisure hotels, and Taj luxury hotels. The Business hotels are spread across India, Sri Lanka, Africa, and the Middle East, and designed to satisfy every need of the business traveler. The hotels offer everything including well appointed rooms, telecommunication facilities such as wireless internet connectivity, efficient service, specialty restaurants and lively bars, well equipped business centers, and conference facilities and banquet areas.

Taj luxury hotels are literally authentic palaces. Transporting guests back to the age of kings and courtesans, these exquisite buildings adorned with domes, terraces, carved pillars, and archways built in a true royal style, have recently been renovated with modern luxuries. To heighten the authentic palace experience, a team of butlers serves guests in the kind of style that a maharaja would have offered his guests, which is uniquely India.

The Leisure hotels offer activities including exotic getaways, entertainment, sports, culture, adventure and other things. An innovator in dining, Taj was the first to introduce Sichuan, Thai, Italian, Mexican, and Californian cuisine into the country. Taj hotels are affordable, exotic, and they provide everything that you require for a perfect holiday.
