    This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

    I was just 11 yrs old but I still remember the night of 26/11. The story of taj during that time sums up the story of Mumbai and india in extension. The taj is the pride of Mumbai and to see it on fire was just heartbreaking. Yet after hearing the stories of the courage the common ppl of the taj showed along with the security forces, it just brought us all together stronger than ever.

    I had a very personal relation with Taj I was there on 23/11 ( 3 days before the Attack) I remember I was around 13 years old that time. We were on visit to mu uncle since he was out of town we had decided to stay in the hotel for 2 days and later on 24th moved to his house.
    I still remember of the staff who took care of me when I was there his name was as i remeber Kanishka from My native state of Odisha. I remember how he took care of me and bonded with me as a child. I had decided to meet her before returning but it turned out that she was one of the Casualties the attack.

      Taj mumbai was the first 5 star hotel in india and first hotel of Taj groups,that's why it's an emotion for the Tata group and not just any fancy hotel,u will always get the best service....
      Their employees even came on time in 26 July I don't know which year exactly, that day whole mymbai was under water,their staff walked in floods and reached on time,that's called emotion.....

    On that fateful day on November 26, 2008, many of the staff could have left and most of them knew various exits where they could escape. But no one left. Later it was taken as a case study by various institutions around the world, about, why none of the staff leave, even at the face of imminent death. There's also a TED talk on it

      @@tfft It's a story of incredible courage, commitment and determination shown by the staff, make us all proud. What's even more incredible is, and the reason why Tatas are respected so much in the country is because of the fact that, for the next 13 months, when the hotel was shut for investigation and renovation, the management made sure that every staff is fully paid, covered the necessary counselling or treatment required for each and every staff, even when the hotel was not making any revenue and the future was uncertain

    For future reference, this hotel is very near the cruise terminal in Mumbai. When I took a short taxi ride to the Gateway of India during our day in port, I was intrigued by the hotel and walked into the Palace using the pedestrian entrance on 3/14/15. (The Tower made no impression on me and I was surprised to see it in your video but on checking my photos, it was there.) I had wide access inside the hotel, have photos of pool area, lower part of staircase, and photo gallery including the same picture of Obama. My most lasting impression was of the flowers everywhere. And right outside and on the ride back to the port--chaos.

    Honestly, I think you did it justice but my experience was a a true 100 out of 100. This is my gold standard for hotels I have stayed in. They treated me like a god, and I felt like I didn't even know how to be grateful enough. They literally made my entire stay in India, where I was staying to see a friend's wedding. I didn't have a perfect trip, but that had nothing at all to do with the Taj Mahal Palace...I was told by my girlfriend we were breaking up at the time I was staying there. The girlfriend was forgettable, but the hotel will stay in my heart and mind forever. It really wasn't a trauma response that made the hotel seem all the more special by contrast. The overwhelmingly positive experience of the stay in the hotel made me feel completely serene about the breakup and about all else going on in my life. The breakfast was the best FREE hotel breakfast that I had ever had. I loved my room and the fact I had a "hall monitor" person who was truly available for my slightest need all day. I tried not to bother him, but he seemed genuinely hurt that I didn't want a newspaper in the morning or fresh juice, bed turndown service throughout the day, etc. I just gave in at the end and they were in and out of my room whenever I was out, doing things like putting fresh flowers inside. I have never seen a hotel staff take so much pride in their work. I can't say enough about the place. As far as I was concerned it had everything I could possibly need...except a better partner than the one who picked there to end our relationship. Good riddance!! I could not possibly have broken up with someone under better, and more comforting circumstances.

    My wife and I stayed in Bombay in 1991 on our honeymoon tour. Couldn't afford the Taj so we stayed at Apollo hotel in the backstreets just behind the Taj. Popped in for relief from the heat in the deliciously cooled lobby. Beautiful video! Need to go back and stay here soon, now that I can afford it 🙂

    This was my first experience of a ‘Hotel’, I had stayed in one guest house hotel before on a school trip to the Isle of Wight in the UK, but nothing prepared me for the majesty of this establishment. As a sixteen year old joining my first ship, it was my first journey abroad this was true luxury.

    I've stayed at Taj Hotels throughout India. Lucknow, Lake Palace Udaipur, Rambagh Palace, Jaipur, but not yet Mumbai. The quality is definitely there. It's not a destination, it's an experience, and one that should be had. There are few words to describe how magnificent these Palaces are. Marble pools. Granite and marble flooring, walls, outdoor pathways. The opulence. Beauty.Quality. It's as close as you can get to feeling like royalty. To experience such a different way of everything. After a day out in India, it's a blessed relief to come back to this high end accommodation. Once you go Taj; you just can't go back.

    A lovely video and great to hear it’s history and educational content which most would probably not be aware of - travel is amazing as it opens up so many possibilities - having stayed here numerous times over many years it is still an oasis in a very very hectic city - also having departed on a few cruise ships crawling through very small and narrow openings to gain access- just incredible - most enjoyable Thankyou- and just a question If I may- when staying at these types of properties are you in flip flops and shorts ? 😂

    • @tfft

    I have stayed at the Taj Palace. I love the hotel and its history, and amazing service. They treat guests like royalty. I paid extra for a sea view room, which was nice, but quite small. You really need to upgrade if you want a nice size room at the Taj, because their standard rooms are quite small. You can get a much larger suite at other 5-star hotels for the same price. Mumbai is the best city in India. I'm curious if you have any video about yourself, who you are, and why you choose to live in Asia.

    • @tfft

    I recall staying here in 1975, on our way back to London, England. I was a child & still remember the elegance back then, too. It was very pricey back then, also! Beautiful & elegant hotel with so much history built in 1898. It’s almost like stepping back in time.

    Stayed in the Palace side of the hotel for the first time last November so your video brought back some pleasant memories. My sense is the staff is really what makes this hotel memorable. Taj is my favorite hotel chain in India and have stayed at Lands End and Fisherman's cove in Chennai and Fort Aguada in Goa and you see similar service at all the properties. I met the Palace hotel historian via the tour he offered and then had a chance to talk to him after the tour at length. Its difficult to get the entire history of this place but you begin to see why it is such a landmark.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว

      I suppose “opulence” is a relative term, but if we’re just speaking about beautiful hotels with equally beautiful rooms, then absolutely… many times. A few that come to mind: Leela Bengaluru, Six Senses Samui, Four Seasons Bangkok, Park Hyatt Jakarta, Intercontinental Đà Nẵng, Sofitel Legend Hanoi, Alvear Icon Buenos Aires, Excelsior Gallia Milan, COMO Point Yamu…

    • @tfft

    I stay in Mumbai but I’m frequent visitor of this property to have that royal experience. Rooms are cozy but beautifully crafted. If anyone staying here first time, stay in palace if couple or stay in tower if with kids. Always opt for Sea Lounge for breakfast or Souk if unavailable. Do try their gym which is quite nice
