My wife and I stayed at The Amar Vilas, Agra for 3 nights from 13th May, 2013 and had one of the most memorable stay. The General Manager, Mr. Ankush Mahajan and his entire team was one of the finest we have come across. We had a Premium Room with Balcony right across The Taj Mahal. We were pampered and... More

From the moment you walk into the elegant reception area with it's spectacular view of the Taj Mahal, to the stunning rooms and suites with their British Colonial decor, to the spectacular swimming pool and grounds, and to the excellent restaurants and the lovely boutiques, this...

With only one night in Agra, this hotel with its close proximity to the Taj Mahal and advertised 6 star splendor seemed like the perfect base from which to explore the sights of Agra, however upon reflection overall it is not worth the inflated room rate.

This is a solid hotel for being close to the Taj Mahal. Well kept, with excellent staff. Good restaurant. Comfortable beds, and above average size rooms. the pool is nice, a good relaxing way to end a busy, tiring day of touring.

We stayed here for 3 days before attending a conference in Delhi. Having never been to India, the experience was certainly a bit of a shock. This hotel was unbelievably good. We had a room with a balcony, which was well worth the extra to be able to sit and look over at the Taj Mahal, hear the exotic prayer... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Taj Mahal is extraordinary as much for what it is as how it has escaped the banality of cliché. For 350 years, this monument evokes a sense of wonder. Only by being there can you witness its true majesty, its symmetry, its setting and the delicacy of its carved marble inlaid with precious stones. Now just suppose you were to overlook it from your hotel room? The Oberoi Amarvilas is 600 metres from this tribute to love. The lavish interiors and elaborate gardens add to the serenity of the scene. The guestrooms are palatial: all have magical views and are luxuriously furnished with traditional fabrics, white marble, hand-crafted ornaments and every modern amenity. There is a luxury spa offering a range of therapies, a swimming pool where snacks and drinks are served; an ornamented ballroom and fine restaurants to suit the international palate. But the lobby lounge is a feast for the eye designed, as it was, around that glorious view of the Taj Mahal. ... more   less
