Never say die: Trident, Taj tower rule skyline again

 Two structures that bore the brunt of the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, the Trident hotel and the Taj hotel towers are all set to reopen on Sunday December 21, 2008, within a month of the attacks.

The Trident is throwing open all its 550 guestrooms and suites as well as facilities like the spa and fitness centres to the public.

The hotel says most tables at its two restaurants have already been booked. But the hotel will have no Christmas or New Year celebrations. The freeze on celebrations of the loud kind are to mourn the victims of the terror attacks.

The Taj, another target of the terrorist attack, also reopens on Sunday. Four terrorists were holed in at the Taj Palace hotel in a 60-hour-long siege.

The Trident, which is in a building close to the Oberoi hotel, is connected to it through a lobby. The Oberoi hotel, however will remain shut for renovation work, necessiated by damages sustained in the recent terrorist strikes.
