Well, to begin with, over the years I have explored quite a few places that left a lasting impression on me. Some of them were very ultra-modern, with state-of-the-art facilities, and while others were rich in history and tradition. One place truly caught my eyes and stole my heart is the Taj Mahal Palace Hockel located in Mumbai, which is truly an architectural Jabal in the crown of India. I first heard about this legendary hotel through the history lessons and the media coverage, but when I show it with my own eyes, it, it, oh and I during family trip to Mumbai, that hotel truly captured my attention and quite literally took my breath away. It’s located just right opposite to the gateway of India. What makes This building so captivating is its seamless fusion of Indo-Saracenic, Islamic and European architectural style. The iconic red dome, green arches and the intricate detailing give it structure to a royal appearance. Moreover, Ornate balconies give a wriggle charm that transport visitors back into the colonial era. Instead of despite being more than a century old, it has been meticulously maintained and execute timeless elegance. Instead of grand corridor, so vintage decor and the luxurious decoration that feel like this shaping into a different world and it proved that Vanthal history and luxury go hand in hand. I find Taj Hurtal extremely interesting not only because it’s aesthetic grandeur but it’s historical and emotional significance. It has witnessed several events and stand today as the symbol of resilience and the pride for the nation. To sum up, for me Taj hotel is not just a hotel but it perfectly blends history, culture and modern luxury facilities.
