About Taj Mahal Tower
- Built on the site of Green's Hotel (flats from 1890, a Tata hotel from 1904), the Tower opened in 1973 beside the 1903 Palace.
- Architects Rustam Patell and Melton Bekker designed the wing with South Indian Tanjore pillars and Rajasthani arched balconies.
- When the Tower opened, the main entrance to the Taj complex shifted from the Palace courtyard to the Tower's ground floor.
- From 1972 to 1995 the hotel operated as The Taj Mahal Inter-Continental under a Pan Am Inter-Continental franchise.
- The Tower holds a MICHELIN One Key for 2025 as a booking distinct from the adjoining Palace wing.
