For more than 100 years, we have acquainted guests with the heritage of India – and a legendary experience in hospitality. It began on December 16, 1903, when Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata opened Taj’s first hotel, the Taj Mahal & Ratchet 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.
