The rooms offer royal inspired décor with stunning views of either the lake or gardens with the blooming lily pond. Each room is unique in size but is clad with local Indian silks and grand furniture.

The spa at the Taj Palace is an experience like no other. Pamper yourself into a state of pure relaxation with carefully created treatments that draw on the ancient wellness heritage of India.

Why we love it
