The Oberoi Amarvilas

Being only 600m from the Taj Mahal in Agra, The Oberoi Amarvilas offers more than just the convenience of strolling up to that iconic monument. In fact, you don’t need to walk under the Indian heat when you can take the hotel’s golf cart. Step away from the bustling crowds and sip on your welcome drink as you drift into a more serene ambience. Wander through pavilions, reflection pools, minarets and terraced lawns – all designed with Mughal flair. Even the details showcased throughout all 102 rooms, featuring teak wood flooring, Mughal-inspired décor, and exquisite hand-crafted furniture, all come with an air of opulence. Asides from being spoilt with a prime view of the Taj at any time of the day, the incredible service is also another thing that goes unnoticed. The staff is always prepared to surprise you by anticipating your needs – such as arranging your tickets for the Taj Mahal or organising a personalised Oberoi “Under the Stars” dinner experience. But even the common dining areas are a treat for your tastebuds with all-day dining at Bellevue restaurant and Indian specialities at Esphahan restaurant. There is no better way to keep cool from the heat than lounging at the pool over a signature Oberoi cocktail from the bar, while curious Thesus monkeys play from balconies at a distance. If you and a loved one are looking to truly relax, be sure to visit the spa for personalised Ayurvedic treatments at a private spa suite.
