Taj Mahal Hotel Delhi – An Epitome of Luxury and Style
Delhi is full of hotels and other accommodation facilities, but only a handful can lay claim to the title of the best of the best hotels in Delhi. The Taj Mahal Hotel Delhi is one such contender and not without reason. Amongst its many other accolades, the hotel has won the 5 Star Diamond Award by the American Academy of Hospitality. Just stepping into the white sparkling lobby is like teleporting into a different dimension altogether. Elaborately carved Mughal designs in the form of golden inlay works and intricate motifs make the Taj a treat to the eye. The hotel is also located in convenient proximity to important places like the airport, diplomatic missions, government offices, and the city centre Connaught Place.
Services and Facilities
The hotel is not simply about visual appeal or snob value. When it comes to services and facilities, the Taj Mahal Hotel Delhi beats hands down countless other hotels in Delhi. Be it a well-stocked legal library, babysitting services, and doctor on call or hiring of laptops, mobile phones, and cars – the Taj pampers its patrons silly. For business purposes, clients can take their pick from facilities large enough to host cocktail and reception parties of up to 1000 guests. Similarly, there are auditorium-type meeting rooms that can accommodate 20 to 400 people. A state of the art business sector with a legal library and three conference rooms takes care of almost every thinkable requirement.
Accommodation Options
If heaven has different stages, then the rooms of Taj Mahal Hotel Delhi ably convey this metaphor. The different categories of accommodation choices are the Deluxe & Luxury Rooms, Taj Club Rooms, Executive Balcony Suites, Luxury Suites, and ‘The Grand Presidential Suite’. All these rooms come with their own set of luxurious privileges like early check-in and late check-out services, complimentary breakfasts and cocktails in the lounge, complimentary use of gymnasium, Jacuzzi, and steam at the fitness centre, and the meeting room at the Taj Club.
Wining and Dining
The Taj Mahal Hotel Delhi outdoes itself in serving the best of food and wine to its guests. The different themed restaurants are Emperor’s Lounge, House of Ming, Machan, Ricks, The Grill Room, Varq, and Wasabi by Marimoto. While Emperor’s Lounge doles out varieties of teas, coffees, and desserts, the House of Ming offers numerous Cantonese and Sichuan delicacies. The Machan serves a world of muti-ethnic cuisines and has been the enviable winner of the title of ‘the best 24 hour international eatery in the city’ from the Times Food guide. Ricks, an award winning lounge bar makes a dipsomaniac out of the visitor with its endless array of spirits and Wok cuisine. The Grill Room, exclusively meant for Taj’s resident guests, tantalises one’s taste buds with the specialties of the celebrated European chef Ingo Moller. Varq is the place to treat one’s palate to exquisite Indian cuisines done up by master chef Hemant Oberoi. It makes for an earth shattering fusion between traditional Indian style cuisine and amazing ingredients like Karachi prawns, sand crabs, halibut, goose liver, and diver’s scallops. For the finest of Japanese Sakes and Sushi Bar, Wasabi by Iron Chef Masahuru Mohimoto is the place
