The Oberoi Amarvilas - Experience India's renowned hospitality

The Oberoi Amarvilas is a serene haven ideally situated to visit, or view, the Taj Mahal
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 ambiance. 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. Aside 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 organizing a personalized 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 specialties 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 personalized Ayurvedic treatments at a private spa suite.
The Property
The Oberoi Amarvillas sits within eight acres of lush gardens, fountains, pools, pavilions and 102 rooms. All rooms come with a living area, a king-size bed, hand-woven rugs, a marble bathroom, exclusive Ayurvedic toiletries, fluffy bathrobes and a private balcony. The interior décor and furniture all pay homage to Mughal splendour with gold leaf frescoes and arched passageways. All rooms offer the pleasure of uninterrupted views of the Taj Mahal – a perfect spot away from crowds to view the sunrise or sunset glow upon it.Outside of your bedroom, past the serene garden, the large pool also offers an advantageous view. But should you be done swimming laps or sitting on your sun lounger, staff will pamper you with complimentary sorbet and cold face towels. Enjoy your favourite cocktail at the well-stocked bar or a signature iced tea in the lounge area. There are also two fine dining restaurants; Bellevue is open all day, serving Indian and continental cuisine and Esphaphan, which serves speciality Indian cuisine, with live traditional music and starlit four-course dinners. The Oberoi Spa offers eastern/western massage treatments, all carefully created with Ayurveda principles for guests to have the ultimate relaxation experience.
