The West End, now the Taj West End, has a history dating back to 1887. A low colonial manor spread through several hectares of lush tropical gardens, the property was originally converted as a hostel for British Officer use, but over time has evolved into a classic luxury heritage property. 117 rooms retain their classic feel, but have now been thoroughly modernised and kitted out will all the requisite amenities. The wide pool, excellent spa, and selection of restaurants mean comfort and relaxation are always close at hand; service, as one would expect from Taj management, is exemplary.
