Lonely Planet review
If you have a penchant for bedding down at international-class hotels that run like clockwork and have chic (if somewhat carbon copy) rooms, as well as the usual bundle of comforts found at five-star chains worldwide, then the Taj delivers.
This upbeat hotel has 422 rooms and 40 suites, all luxuriously appointed with the more expensive deluxe rooms having added attractions like elegant parquet flooring and sweeping views of either the pool or city. The Taj club rooms are on higher floors so enjoy even more panoramic views, and each includes private check-in facilities, a complimentary bottle of wine, complimentary breakfast, and a valet service. The hotel has a host of good dining options including the enticingly named Chinese Tea House of the August Moon, Mediterranean Kafe Fontana, Orient Express with live jazz nightly, and contemporary Indian Masala Art. If you need to unwind, take a turn on the hotel's 9-hole putting green or splash about in the expansive pool. It's a shame, however, that the staff's icy professionalism can sometimes make you feel more like a number than a name.
