Due to the hotel’s open layout, you can see every floor, all the way to the lobby. While there are elevators, it is recommended to take the stairs. You feel like royalty. As promised, here is the main lobby. It feels more contemporary, and it’s massive with plenty of seating for the hundreds of guests staying here, as well as the tour groups, people coming for the restaurants, meetings and/or spa.
The rooms are cosy, and intimate. The free WIFI is fast, the room is quiet, and each detailing is so meticulously designed, you will feel like a king staying here.
Taj Mahal Palace has an intimate spa flanked by the main lobby and the pool. Jiva Spa is new, sprawling 6,500 square feet, and offering a handful of treatment rooms. It’s surprisingly magnificent for such a grand hotel, proving not a lot of guests book treatments here (the menu was also pretty limited) as very rich people can afford this luxury. The spa offers massages, facials, body scrubs and packages that include traditional Ayurvedic treatments.
