Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to kick off their weeklong tour of India and Bhutan this weekend, and E! News has your look inside the luxurious hotel the royals will be residing in while in Mumbai.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are staying at the five-star Taj Mahal Palace hotel, which features many suites that are outfitted with marble floors, crystal chandeliers and more. The hotel's presidential suite, the Tata Suite, comes with its own spa and butler and about 5,000-square feet of space. It has 15 rooms, which will provide plenty of lounge room for the royal couple!
Another one of the hotel's glamorous accommodations, the 1,500-square foot Rajput Suite, is modeled after a Rajasthani palace. Even though their schedule will be jam packed, the couple can continue to work in the Rajput Suite's gorgeous office space. But who could focus in such a beautiful environment?! Looking out the window, the parents of two will have breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea.
The hotel offers 10 restaurants that serve cuisine from around the world,
The hotel tragically fell victim to a terrorist attack in 2008, so both Kate and Prince William will lay a wreath in memory of the victims. The hotel underwent extensive renovations following the attack, restoring it to its original beauty. The royals will also meet with staff members who helped protect guests and attend a Bollywood charity gala.
During their seven-day trip, the couple will visit historic sites such as the Taj Mahal and Kaziranga National Park. Their trip to the Taj Mahal is especially sentimental given Prince William's mother, Princess Diana, visited the landmark 24 years ago.
"[Prince William] feels incredibly lucky to visit a place where his mother's memory is kept alive by so many who travel there," the Cambridges' communications secretary Jason Knauf said in a statement. "Twenty-four years on from her visit to the Taj, the duke and the duchess are looking forward to seeing this beautiful place for themselves and creating some new memories as they say thank you to the people of India at the conclusion of this tour."
This will be Prince William and Kate's first trip to India. They'll be leaving Prince George and Princess Charlotte at home.
