If you have been to Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, you shouldn�t be surprised that the hotel has been ranked 16th in Conde Naste Traveller magazine�s inaugural �Gold List 2005� for location.
The �landmark 1903 building with staggering views over the Arabian Sea, the Gateway of India and the city of Mumbai� offers 495 bedrooms and 51 suites, according to the international travel magazine.
Also making the Gold List 2005 was the Oberoi Rajvilas in Rajasthan for �its head and shoulders above other Indian hotels, with 24-hour in-room dining and butler service.� The purpose-built palace hotel on the outskirts of Jaipur is set in immaculate, 32-acre grounds, wrote the magazine. �It has 54 doubles with teak four-posters, marble bathrooms and walled gardens; 14 air-conditioned tented rooms with Burma teak floors and embroidered canopies; two one-bedroom Pool Villas; one Royal Villa.�
Topping the list for location was The Samling in the Lake district of England for its �charming 1870s house with the ambience of a private home, set in 67 acres overlooking Lake Windermere.�
In the services category, the Four Seasons hotel in London was ranked tops.
