It was opened in 1903 as the Taj Mahal Hotel. It was, in earlier times, known simply as "The Taj". The hotel is named after the Taj Mahal, which is located in the city of Agra (about 1,050 kilometres (650 mi) from Mumbai). It has been known one of the finest hotels in the East since the time of the British Rule in India. The hotel was one of the main places targeted in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
