The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

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.

We had some memorable time at the Oberoi Amarvilas once again after 3 years to the date we did enjoy our stay at arguably the best hotel in Agra nowadays. Thank you to the general manager Mr Kukreja and his team for helping ensure our experience was splendid. Food was lovely, the chat experience was great and cocktails were nice, what’s more the view from the hotel of the Taj Mahal is also breathtakingly beautiful.

A world class hotel with a location that defies imagination. A wonderful experience form check in to check out and berthing in between. Highly recommended.
