Mumbai is the largest city in India and the country’s commercial and entertainment center. As the second largest city in the world and a recognized “alpha world city,” it is an invaluable hub of the global economy. Many executives of international corporations will find themselves in Mumbai on business.
In 2008, Mumbai was ranked in Forbes‘ “Top Ten Cities for Billionaires” and first in terms of those billionaires’ average wealth. In addition to the unending tourist destinations, Mumbai is a city prepared to cater to the most discerning executives and travelers.
Taj Mahal Palace & Tower – Built in 1903, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower is the flagship property of Taj Hotels. In its long, storied history, the hotel has hosted Maharajas, Princes, Kings, Presidents, CEOs and major entertainers, and it is particularly outfitted to please the most discerning guests. The hotel’s architecture references Moorish, Oriental and Florentine styles, and the Palace houses a unique collection of art, antiques and historical artifacts that have been gathered from across the world for the past century. Considered more of a landmark within the city than simply a hotel, the Palace’s impressive status is known around the world and can serve traveling executives with “authentic experiences, given that luxury is a way of life to which they are accustomed.”
Additionally, the Taj Mahal hotel offers consummate business accommodations. Created to host heads of state and major executives, opulent ballrooms of varying sizes can be equipped with the technology necessary for successful press conferences, board meetings or receptions. Additionally, the Business Centre is accustomed to helping executives conduct business over a variety of time zones and in various languages. Secretarial services and a variety of business equipment are provided, along with video conferencing. At the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, luxury amenities and perfected service are standard — executives will find a level of accommodations even beyond the typical 5-star appeal at this Mumbai institution.
