The attack had severely damaged the heritage wing, particularly the fifth and sixth floors.

Guests can request for rooms on the second, third and fourth floor of the hotel by then," said a Taj spokesperson.

Ravi Mehra, a marketing executive with an MNC firm in Delhi, is excited to stay at in the heritage wing. "A sea view room was always my favourite at Taj.

Staying at the old wing gives a better view of the Arabian Sea. I am eagerly waiting for the re-opening of the heritage wing," said Mehra.
