Height and Number of Floors

Does anyone know exactly how many floors the Palace has, and what its height is to the top of the dome finial? I can count 7 floors on the Palace. Also, I think there needs to be a better distinction made between the Palace and the Tower, including that the tower was completed in 1973. The room count for the hotel listed if for both hotels combined, BTW. Perhaps, we such as two sections, one dealing with the Palace and one dealing with the Tower. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The hotel is being incorrectly referred to as Taj Mahal Palace. The correct name is Taj Palace.

In 1993

I organized an international conference at the Taj in 1993. I was surprised how plain the hotels interior staircases were. Apparently the interior has been tastefully redone after 2008. Malaiya (talk) 03:30, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hotel Grand Palace?

"Hotel Grand Palace is another name for Hotel Taj Mahal" Is it? The Hotel Grand Palace Inn is a different establishment. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:02, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 September 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite or indefinite article at beginning of name)#When definite and indefinite articles should be used, no evidence has been presented that the definite article in the former title is as ubiquitous as examples such as The New York Times or The Hague.

The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel → Taj Mahal Palace Hotel – The "The" is not a part of the name, this is not like "The Pierre". Gryffindor (talk) 19:09, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The article name is correct per the official website. Tamravidhir (talk) 10:11, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:THE. Not likely to be commonly capitalised in running text. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
