Emperor Genius

I feel the version written by Ss2107 is more complete than the edited version by Emperor Genius. Emperor Genius should understand that his version is not totally accurate, nor is it complete in every sense. Some of the changes suggested by Emperor Genius have been incorporated, and edited in my version, but the complete text cannot be changed as per the liking of one user. There is nothing inappropriate or inaccruate in the current version as it has undergone minor deletions and changes by other users as well.

Please refrain from rechanging the text or please mention what you think is inappropriate in the version written by Ss2107 with minor changes by me and other users thereafter. Do not undo the current version again. It is uncalled for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BSMAC (talk • contribs) 04:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Commercial

Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces has assigned User:Maxone999 the job of inserting enticing copy from the hotel brochures, and copyright corporate photos into all its Wikiopedia entries: see these User Contributions. Someone with more tact than I have needs to explain.--Wetman (talk) 20:24, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

History of Taj

Billed by the Times, London as the finest hotel in the East, the Taj’s first hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai was perhaps the only place in the world where a British Viceroy could rub shoulders with an Indian Maharajah, where the Congress could debate with right wing leaders, and where sailors on shore leave could flirt with the Pompadour Follies. Built at the cost of a quarter of a million pounds, the hotel introduced a series of firsts that set new benchmarks in Indian hospitality. Over the years, the Taj brought into Bombay, “Professors of Dance’ Mademoiselle Singy to raise temperatures and a few eyebrows with the Tango, the first air-conditioned ballroom to cool things down, the first cold storage, the first licensed bar, and more.

The changing decades ushered in new tastes and newer guests including Mick Jagger, Steven Spielberg, and David Rockefeller, to name a few. From Nobel laureates to rock stars, fashion divas, to oil-rich sheiks, Taj represented a global village long before the term was to become a cliché. Even today, a hundred years on, guests will find Taj taking luxury to greater heights in all its hotels around the world including business capitals, fairy-tale palaces, on secluded islands, in private yachts, aboard executive jets, and amidst spas and resorts. Still, as the discerning traveller will note, a little ahead of its time.

Important Milestones in the History of Taj 1903: Created history with the opening of The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Bombay (Mumbai) – India’s first Luxury hotel

1971-72: Pioneered the concept of authentic Palace Hotels in the country with the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, the Palace of the Maharajah of the esrtswhile state of Jaipore.

1974: Conceptualized the unique beach resort at Fort Aguada, Goa built within the walls of a Portuguese fort overlooking the Arabian Sea

1978-82: Taj launched in Delhi with its luxury hotel - Taj Mahal Hotel on No. 1 Man Singh Road and then prepared India for the Asian Games by setting up Taj Palace, Delhi with the largest convention centre in the country

1982: Taj established a presence in the Western Hemisphere with the historic St. James Court Hotel near Buckingham Palace, London

1984-92: Well before these destinations became world renown for their beauty, Taj expanded to Kerala and Sri Lanka

1992-97: Rolled out Business Hotels in key cities and towns across the country, branded as Taj Residency hotels

2000: Consolidated its position as the largest chain in India with hotels in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, the latter city being a joint venture with GVK Hotels resulting in a dominant position in the market for premium and luxury hotel rooms

2002: The new Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Maldives, within six months of its launch, was awarded the title of "The Best Resort in the World" in the first ever Harpers and Queen Travel Awards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunilgmishra (talk • contribs) 21:10, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces → Taj Hotels – The brand underwent a reshuffle and has now been named as just Taj Hotels instead of Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces.
