Operated by Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL, the Taj Group), this 563-room property blends Mughal-inspired design with modern luxury. The hotel's location on the Arabian Sea, with unobstructed views of the Gateway of India, makes it a landmark for international guests, business travellers, and celebratory occasions.
