The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

We chose The Oberoi Amarvilas to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be one of the finest hospitality experiences we have ever had. I had booked nearly four months in advance and could manage only two nights — which already tells you how sought-after this property is. From the moment you enter, you realise why. The uninterrupted view of the Taj Mahal from our balcony is something words cannot fully describe. Waking up to that sight and watching it change hues through the day is simply magical. In my opinion, this is the second wonder of Agra — no exaggeration. What truly elevates Amarvilas, however, is the people. Every interaction felt genuine and warm — never mechanical. Mr. Aishwarya coordinated our travel and reservations flawlessly. John, who drove us to Delhi, was professional and courteous. Ishaan at the restaurant ensured our dining experiences were smooth and memorable, and Madhav curated a beautiful private dining celebration for us that we will cherish for years. A very special mention to our guide, Mr. Nithin — his refinement, knowledge, and quiet confidence in storytelling are rare. We have travelled extensively, and his level of professionalism truly stood out. This property does not just provide luxury; it creates moments and memories. For context, I am a Lifetime Gold member and Ambassador Elite member with Marriott Bonvoy for many consecutive years, so I have experienced some of the finest luxury properties globally. This appreciation comes from a seasoned traveller who understands service excellence. If you are considering a special celebration in Agra, look no further.

Just perfect, Please change nothing everything minutes in this place was amazing

Exceptional - in all aspects. Can not ask for more!! Location, superlative maintenance of the property, well appointed rooms, security, delectable cuisine, amazing view of the Taj monument, ever willing to help staff members...yeh dil mange more of Amarvilas!

My pre-arrival experience with the Oberoi in Agra has been very disappointing. Given their level, cost, and reputation, I expected responsive, helpful and accurate support from their concierge. They did not meet this. My requests were not unusual: a guide for the Taj, a guide for Delhi, a restaurant reservation. They took 3-4 days to respond to emails and only sent partiall answers (eg. Availability but not cost). I asked for a number i could call or text on WhatsApp and they refused, saying they could only give it once I checked in; which will be too late for most of the plans I need. I expected better from you, Oberoi.

We stayed for only one night and regret not staying longer. What an amazing hotel . From welcome to goodbye everything was perfect, Our balcony room with view of Taj was so comfortable , The service we received was out of this world . Every staff member we interacted with was first class . We appreciated the gifts for our anniversary and very thankful to Mayank Pandey for fitting us into the wonderful Indian restaurant where we enjoyed an excellent dinner .
