Made in Germany | Taj Mahal Palace Indias Magnificent Hotel under Swabian Management

After spending a night and 500 dollars in Bombays Taj Mahal Palace hotel, any other hotel room seems like a broom closet.

The hotel next to the picturesque Gateway of India is a luxurious fortress, an icon of the international hotel industry and the pride of India. Opened in 1903 when India was still a British colony, it was the country's first luxury hotel to be built by an Indian for Indians. Today, it is managed by Birgit Zorniger, a 44-year-old from south-western Germany, quite an honour for a woman and a foreigner. The hotel has 1,800 employees, all but seven of whom are Indians, the other six are chefs in the kitchens. Joachim Eggers accompanied the manager for a day.

It is a sad day when Islamics terrorists tarnished with innocent blood such a beautiful landmark on 27th November 2008. I pray that many of the employees have survived the coward attack by the evil people who attacked Munbai. I hope and pray Taj Mahal shall reopen soon.

@tri400 , when the Congress government opened up to foreign investments, it was the BJP that opposed it. But they did a good job with the roads, although they ignored South India. Having said that, i would not vote for these criminal BJP/VHP. They have the blood of thousands of innocent fellow Indians because they were Christian or Muslim. Even today, they continue down the path to eternal hell!. But the time will come when these murderers will be held accountable by the people of this world

@aklnj because 40% of India is illiterate! also, what is the opposite of progress? Congress!

We need to vote for BJP, they built the National Highways, not Congress....
