Taj Tower to be renamed

The Taj hotel is trying to let go of the dreadful memories of the 26/11 attack. The hotel is likely to change its name back to the original Taj Mahal Palace Hotel from the current Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel this May. This will be the second time the hotel is being renamed. One reason behind the renaming of the hotel again is the fact that the management finds its earlier name lucky and auspicious.A few days ago, the management met the hotel's bigwigs in the Princess Room. "The management made an official presentation to important members and decided to change the name in a few months," said a hotel source. 

"Stationery items will soon be changed. They have already placed an order for new stationery," he said.
A Taj spokesperson confirmed the news, but added, "We have not finalised anything yet."
