Mumbai’s Taj Palace Hotel will reopen its heritage wing on August 15, India’s Independence Day.
The hotel’s heritage wing was badly damaged during a November 2008 terrorist attack.
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.
