The iconic 5-star Taj Banjara Hotel, a prominent landmark on Banjara Hills Road No. 1, has been sealed by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) due to non-payment of property tax amounting to Rs 1.40 crore over the past two years. The action comes after repeated notices and a final red notice issued by the civic body, which went unheeded by the hotel management.
Located in one of Hyderabad’s most sought-after commercial hubs, Taj Banjara Hotel boasts 122 luxurious rooms, a 24-hour reception, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an outdoor swimming pool, and multiple dining options, including the popular Waterside Café and Kebab-e-Bahar restaurant. Despite its premium offerings and prime location, the hotel has faced financial and operational challenges in recent years.
This is not the first time the Taj Banjara Hotel has faced closure. Previously, the hotel remained shut for 14 months due to a dispute between the management and leaseholders, which led to the expiration of their agreement.
The hotel management has yet to issue an official statement regarding the sealing or the pending dues.
