The Oberoi Amarvilas

The Oberoi Amarvilas certainly has the wow factor! As soon as you walk through reception, you see a glimpse of the majestic Taj Mahal in the distance; it's truly breathtaking. This is certainly the best hotel to stay at in Agra, the location couldn't be more perfect. The hotel transports you via a golf buggy down to the entrance to the Taj Mahal for your visit which is just a few minutes’ drive away.

Every room has a Taj Mahal view but it's certainly worth upgrading to the Premier Room with a balcony, as they are ideal for sitting outside and admiring the view.

This hotel would suit travellers wishing to experience high end luxury, with an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Agra. If you can only afford to do one Oberoi hotel, make sure it's this one! It would be worth doing two nights here, time and budget permitting, to really be able to enjoy everything this hotel has to offer.

The hotel has a palatial feel, the pool area is beautiful, the grounds and hotel are kept immaculate. The service level is very high, the food in both restaurants is delicious and having your own butler is just the icing on the cake! This is exactly what you would expect from an Oberoi hotel and more - it's no surprise this is their top hotel.
