My wife's birthday is coming up, and I want to take her to the Taj hotel, a place which I know she would love to go to and get spoiled. I know the Taj is costly but I don't know how costly, so I need to know what the Hotel Taj Mumbai room rates are. It is not necessary that I need a suite, just a basic room would be fine for her, being at Taj would be a big deal for her as it is. Thanks members.
