I stayed here recently and felt that it was the perfect end to a great but exhausting trip around India. I booked into the Tower but was upgraded to the Tiger Club in the Palace which was a nice treat. The Palace is stunning and you should just look up the staircase, even if you can't afford to stay there. The restaurants are heavenly, we went all out and ate at Zodiac Grill, it claims to be India's top restaurant and we concurred! The 'snake coffee' at the end of the evening was theatrical and the coffee tasted delicious. The rooms are cosy, remembering that this is a 100 year old building, the architecture and service make up for the room which I felt was on the smallish side. The bathroom is small with a shower-over-bath which I'm not very fond of, but the shower was excellent nonetheless. The swimming pool is a nice retreat from Mumbai's hectic streets.

I'd recommend this hotel as a one-off experience to anyone, not ideally located for business though.
