Colaba Causeway

Colaba Causeway is Mumbai's most famous shopping and eating street — a commercial corridor in the Colaba district south of the Gateway of India that combines street vendors (selling everything from jewellery and clothing to antiques and bootleg Bollywood DVDs), colonial-era cafés, and the tourist-oriented commerce of a neighbourhood that has been Mumbai's first point of contact with visitors since the days of the steamship.
Gateway of India

Taj Mahal Palace Hotel
Haji Niyaz Ahmed Azmi Marg, Colaba, Mumbai, 400001, India
The Taj Mahal Palace is India's most famous hotel — a grand Moorish-Gothic-Renaissance structure built in 1903 by Jamsetji Tata (founder of the Tata industrial dynasty) who was allegedly refused entry to a 'whites-only' hotel and decided to build one that would be the finest in the city.
