Hotel Taj Mahal to reopen on Dec 21

Hotel Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, which came under terrorist attacks last month, on Saturday said it will reopen the rooms in the Taj Mahal Tower on December 21.

The hotel will reopen at 7 pm on Sunday, December 21, according to a statement from Indian Hotels Company.

Ten terrorists on November 26 attacked Mumbai and fired indiscriminately at the guests in the century-old Taj Mahal Palace and Tower.

The hotel's heritage wing (Taj Palace), which bore the brunt of the damage, however, would take some more time to reopen.

"To reopen the Taj with such speed, but with no loss of attention to details, shows our resolve to commemorate all the innocent and brave people who lost their lives during the terror strikes," Indian Hotels Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Raymond Bickson said.
