Coming Soon.. Our New Bedrooms and Suites.
We are excited to showcase the first phase of our development with you as we launch our brand-new bedrooms and suites soon.
Over the last nine months, award winning architects, Dexter Moren Associates, have been working with interior designer Sue Freeman to marry Taj’s historic design features with a bold, contemporary finish, reminiscent of a modern townhouse. The use of pale hues accentuates the abundance of natural light, giving the new rooms and suites a bright and airy feel, that ultimately creates a 'home from home' environment.
