Description:
Two minutes walking distance from the Gateway of India stands the Taj Mahal Hotel of Mumbai. Rarely does a hotel become a part of a city's legend. But the structure and the history of this hotel has made it a legend. This was the first in the chain of Taj Mahal hotels. It has charming cupolas and oriental décor and was built by Jamshedji Tata in 1903, even before the Gateway was built. Though the beautiful structure has attracted the tourists, the biggest flaw is that the hotel does not face the sea. Later a tower was built beside it in 1974.
Due to heavy security, tourists are not allowed to enter the Hotel, but one can see the magnificent structure from outside.
