Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata, founder of the Tata Group, opened the Taj
Mahal Palace & Tower, the first Taj property, on December 16, 1903. He
was inspired to open the grand luxury hotel after an incident involving
cultural unfairness at the Watson's Hotel in Mumbai, where he was refused
entry as the hotel did not permit Indians. Hotels which accepted only
European guests were common across British India. Jamsetji Tata traveled
to London, Paris, Berlin and Düsseldorf to get the best materials and pieces
of art, furniture and interior artifacts for his hotel. Due to its prime
location, traditional architecture and massive size, this hotel soon gained
the status of the most iconic hotel in Mumbai.
