Mumbai’s Taj Palace Hotel re-opened its heritage wing yesterday (August 15), on India’s Independence Day.
The hotel’s heritage wing was badly damaged during the November 2008 terrorist attack in the city, which killed around 170 people and wounded over 300.
Management says guests will notice small differences in the interiors of the 1903 hotel.
The ceiling in the Taj Palace lounge has been lowered by eight inches. Its spacious rooms have been soundproofed.
Security has also been improved.
Special levers will allow guests to open windows in an emergency, and access control elevators have been installed on the premises, allowing only guests to operate them with a valid key.
