Taj Mahal Tower, Mumbai

Stretched along Apollo Bunder at the edge of Mumbai Harbour, the Taj Mahal Tower rises behind the Gateway of India arch, placing harbour views directly in front of the upper floors without obstruction.

The tower wing holds the more contemporary rooms; the older Palace wing next door carries original 1903 Florentine and Moorish detailing across its corridors and suites. Dining covers multiple cuisines across several restaurants on-site, with Wasabi by Morimoto among the named outlets.

The Colaba Causeway market begins one block south, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya museum is a seven-minute walk north along the waterfront promenade.
