The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

Our stay at the Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra was honestly one of the warmest and most memorable hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We always say that OBEROI Hotels are our absolute favorite in the whole world, and this trip reminded us again why we feel that way. Their hospitality is something you really feel — it’s not forced, it’s not formal — it’s genuine kindness from everyone you meet. I truly want to mention General Manager Rohit Kukreja because he made such a big difference in our stay. Because of my health, he very kindly upgraded us from the Premier Balcony Room to the Thomas Daniel Suite, which was incredibly thoughtful. He checked in with us every single day just to make sure I was okay and that we were comfortable. He is honestly the best GM we’ve ever met, anywhere. The front office team, especially Office Manager Satvik Kapoor, was so helpful with our daily plans. They made everything feel easy and smooth, and they always remembered our little preferences. It felt like they really cared about how our day was going. The food at the hotel was amazing. Chefs Vibhor and Jaskrit made some of the best meals we’ve ever had, including the best paneer we have EVER eaten. Their desserts were also truly wonderful — delicious and beautifully made. Housekeeping was also fantastic. Mr. Baru Chauhan and his team kept the suite perfect, and they were always so polite and warm whenever we saw them in the hallway. We also want to thank Kaushik, Satvik, Arpan, and a few others whose names we wish we had written down, because they all made our stay so special. We loved every moment at Oberoi Amarvilas. It is a beautiful, peaceful, and caring place, and it’s the only hotel we will ever stay at in Agra.

Wonderful location for a hotel close to the Taj Mahal. The staff made the experience even more enjoyable and I would highly recommend for anyone making the trip to Agra, to stay at the Oberoi America's!

The hotel is breathtakingly beautiful! Both the design of the inside and the outside are gorgeous and well maintained. We had a view of the Taj Mahel from our room despite the smog that kept it from being a picture perfect view. The only reason we couldn't give it a 5 was the chaotic service we received in the restaurant. There were lots of people working the dining room but there was alot of confusion in getting the orders and requests timely. The biggest miss was the box lunch requested. Despite providing specific answers to their questions, the orders were all incorrect.

This property is divine. The presence of Taj Mahal surrounds a person and creates an atmosphere of beauty and abundance and joy. Ambience is just magnificent. One feels cherished here as a guest— at meals and around the property. Rooms are glorious. Highlights of our trip was touring the Taj Mahal and Fatehpur Sikri with Kishore Gupta- an Oberoi tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the region and history of Mughal India. He tells amazing stories of the region and has a great sense of humor. He has great energy. Our family enjoyed him presence and he was fun. BTW the photos he took of our family are incredible. He knows lighting and all the best places for group shots. I’m so grateful that Oberoi has such talent!

The location of the hotel is fantastic and the room was amazing. The service was excellent and we enjoyed every moment of our stay
