Taj Mahal Hotel

Taj Mahal Hotel

• The Taj Mahal Hotel on Number One Mansingh Road, New Delhi is one of the most distinguished addresses in the national capital. Located in the exclusive residential area of LutyensÂ’ Delhi, close to the seat of government, The Taj Mahal Hotel reflects the heritage of Mughal Delhi. Graceful architecture blends aesthetically with modern facilities. The hotel is a city landmark, centrally located, in close proximity to key areas.
  

• The Taj Mahal Hotel is a 40-minute drive from the international airport and minutes away from the bustling city center, Connaught Place, Pragati Maidan, Government offices and Diplomatic missions . The warm, pristine white lobby of The Taj woven with designs reminiscent of Mughal architecture, intricate motifs, golden inlay work, nicheÂ’s from ‘ShahjahanabadÂ’, the erstwhile mogul capital, all add a sense of timelessness to the interiors. The intricacy of the art and design work of the domes and panels in the lobby are perfectly complimented with the calm marble fountain streams. The Taj Mahal Hotel is a veritable showcase of artifacts and art of the era. The hotel’s most recent introduction has been the Grande Presidential Suite. Every detail in this suite has been perfected to host Heads of State and global business leaders.

• Mumbai (formerly know as Bombay) is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra.

The city has an estimated metropolitan population of 17 million (2005), making it one of the largest cities in the world.
• Mumbai is spread over an area of about 437 sq. kms that means….? Yes! You guessed it right. There are people, people and more people where ever you turn. Nevertheless you can find a good transport infrastructure in Mumbai.
• You can travel around the city on taxis which are prompt and their charges are pretty nominal as well. But the taxis operate only in certain parts of the city, autorickshaws ply in the areas where taxis are not allowed to. The autorickshaws drivers are very polite and the charges are reasonable also.
