Taj Mahal Palace is a historic 5-star luxury hotel located next to the Gateway of India in the Colaba district of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, it opened as the Taj Mahal Hotel on December 6, 1903, and is often known historically simply as "The Taj."

The hotel is named after the Taj Mahal in the city of Agra, approximately 1,050 kilometers (650 miles) from Mumbai. It has been considered one of the finest hotels in the East since the days of British rule.

The hotel was founded by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the founder of the Tata Group, a large Indian company. He also runs his Indian Hotels Company Limited, headquartered in Mumbai, India, of which Taj Hotels is a subsidiary.

Taj Hotels' first hotel, Taj Mahal Palace, has 560 rooms and its 44 suites and is considered the group's flagship property. It employs 1,600 staff. The hotel consists of two distinct buildings, the Taj Mahal Palace and the Tower, which are both historically and architecturally distinct (Taj Mahal Palace was built in 1903, and the Tower opened in 1973).

The hotel has received many notable guests, from presidents to captains of industry and movie stars.

On November 26, 2008, the hotel was targeted in the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, which caused property damage, including the destruction of the hotel's roof within hours. The parts of the hotel that sustained less damage were reopened on December 21, 2008. On August 15, 2010, India's Independence Day, the Taj Mahal Palace reopened after restoration. The cost of renovating the hotel is estimated at 1.75 billion rupees. The Palace building has been restored and new hotel services have been provided.

The attack on the hotel was depicted in the 2018 film Hotel Mumbai.
