The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

Excellent hotel excellent staff very good service from chef Khushi and chef Vibhor who went out of their way to turnaround the unpleasant incident at breakfast the way they handled the situation was something I feel I would take back as a lesson to my business I had a wonderful time at the hotel. The location the service the views everything was execeptional

This was my first time at a hotel of this caliber and it was incredible how much was on point. It reminded me of going to my first really nice restaurant where every little detail was anticipated and planned for. Absolutely luxurious atmosphere, immaculate cleanliness, 0 noise from neighbors, and top notch amenities. As you can see in the attached photo, you have an incredible view of the Taj Mahal right from your room. Location is obviously excellent as there are regular golf carts to the Taj Mahal (or you can even walk). I also want to highlight all the associated services. Kishore was my guide for the Taj Mahal as well as Akbar’s Tomb, Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh, and Itmad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj). I would not have done to Akbar’s Tomb without Kishore’s recommendation and it was a delight. He was also great at tying together the threads from different areas and had deep knowledge to answer all of my questions. Worth noting that Kishore is skilled at photography as was happy to take numerous photos. Inside the hotel, the spa and restaurant experiences were excellent. The spa was deeply relaxing; the live music during dinner was a treat. I’m glad I spent two days here (in contrast to the day trip to the Taj many take) to fully explore Agra and enjoy the hotel itself.

Wasn't a good experience. The guard at the entry did not allow us inside the premises even though we wanted to eat at the restaurant. We were with our kids and having been at various Oberoi properties, this was something we had never experienced. Very disappointed.

Past reviews speak to the exceptional nature of this hotel, as well as the other Oberoi hotels. I don’t need to repeat my fellow reviewers words other than to say I absolutely agree - this hotel and every staff member’s service, friendliness, and respect is without peer. Oberoi Amarvilas, and the other Oberoi hotels I have stayed in set the world standard that other hotels strive for and most never achieve

Had the privilege of staying here with my wife for the first time for 2 nights in room no 305 on the 23rd and 24th September 2026. The room was awesome with an amazing view of the Taj from the balcony of our room ! One could sit in the balcony and watch the dance program by young dancers, watch the sunset and the amazing view of the hotel after dusk when the lights are on ! The Oberoi Amarvilas is one of Agra’s most distinctive luxury hotels, particularly because of its extraordinary proximity to the Taj Mahal. What makes Amarvilas special ? The major attraction is really the experience of staying in a Mughal-inspired palace with the Taj Mahal constantly in view. It is particularly beautiful around sunrise and sunset, when the changing light alters the appearance of the Taj. The hotel has 102 rooms and suites, 24-hour butler service and 24-hour in-room dining. Their service is very courteous and Oberoi is known for its hospitality right from welcoming their guests or going out of the way to help. It was indeed an amazing and unforgettable experience.
