"Old and new" Taj Mahal Palace Tower Tip by uglyscot

We did not actually stay here but had a tour of the premises. My daughter stayed here a few years ago and was impressed by the facilities and service.

Unique Qualities: The view was of the Gateway of India and the bay.
IThe hotel was built by Tata . He was once refused entry to a hotel and vowed then to build a hotel to equal or better than to that which had ejected him.He ended up founding a chain of hotels and became a captain of industry.
He got an Italian architect to design the hotel. When the hotel was finished the architect committed suicide on discovering that his main entrance , instead of facing the sea,actually faced a small back lane.
