Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Mumbai, India
Located in the Colaba area of Mumbai, India, on the shores of the Arabian Sea and next to the famous Gateway of India monument, is the famous 5-star Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Built-in the Indo-Saracenic Revival architectural style, the hotel was first opened in December 1902.
In November 2008, 10 members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant Islamist organization based in Pakistan, carried out 12 coordinated shootings and bombings in Mumbai over four days. Hostages were taken during the attacks. At least 167 people were killed, including many foreigners. Anthony Maras' Hotel Mumbai brings to the screen the tragic events that shook the city of Mumbai and the nation of India.
