The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

We booked The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra to celebrate our son's birthday, and it was one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The hotel is stunning, the views of the Taj Mahal are breathtaking, and the food was outstanding. What truly made our stay memorable was the hospitality. Every member of the staff was warm, humble, and made us feel at home. We hadn't planned much, yet the team took care of every detail, making our stay completely effortless. The dining experience was equally outstanding. Every meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with the highest quality ingredients. A special mention to Arpan (Head Manager), Tapan, and the entire team. My 110V hair straightener stopped working around 10:30 PM. Although the engineering team couldn't repair it that night, they ensured another hair straightener was arranged before our 5:00 AM departure to the Taj Mahal. Their dedication, reassurance, and prompt action were truly impressive. The hotel also arranged our Taj Mahal tickets and guide. We were fortunate to have Historian Sandeep, a knowledgeable local guide who brought the history, architecture, and intricate details of the Taj Mahal to life. Our son, who loves history, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We also visited Kalakriti to watch artisans create beautiful marble inlay work, which was fascinating. Thank you, Oberoi Amarvilas, for making our son's birthday so special. You truly stole our hearts. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here—it's an experience you'll never forget.

The place is beautiful and the views of the Taj Mahal are great but what makes The Oberoi Amarvilas stand out is the service. They anticipate every need react quickly. They treat every guest like a VIP. In fact several times during our stay my friends and I said to each other "do they think we're someone else? A VIP?" No, that's just the way they treat you! Please stay here, they are wonderful.

Our stay was highlighted by great views of the Taj, beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, and an outstanding staff. From the front desk to room service and the kitchen team, the service was truly excellent and always helpful. Conveninent transoport facility to Taj mahal is great! The only downside was the dining. While the breakfast buffet offered a great selection, lunch and dinner items we ordered fell short of expectations—especially considering the Michelin-star price tag.

We visited this place on our way to the Taj Mahal. The lunch was spot on. Staff were amazing and the food matched it. Every dish we had was just delicious and we had views of the Taj Mahal whilst eating. The hotel really went the extra mile by taking us down to the Taj Mahal entrance via golf buggy and then suppling us with an umbrella to help keep us in the shade. On our way back, golf buggy took us back to the hotel entrance and we were greeted by the staff with cold towels and water. Such a nice and welcome touch. Would definitely consider staying here when we next visit Agra.

My recent solo stay at The Oberoi Amarvilas was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to ensure a truly memorable stay, delivering the kind of impeccable, polished hospitality that makes you feel incredibly special at every turn. As a solo traveler, I felt completely looked after and welcomed from the moment I arrived. The property itself is flawless, boasting unmatched, breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal. Every aspect of the experience was exceptional, from the outstanding, rejuvenating treatments at the spa to an absolutely exquisite dining experience at their signature restaurant, Esphahan. A seamless stay of this caliber requires incredible coordination, and I want to extend my highest praise to **Arpan**, the Room Division Manager (RDM), who managed everyone and everything perfectly to absolute perfection throughout my time there. Every single detail of my stay was flawlessly executed under his care. Another standout highlight of the trip was my Taj Mahal tour, thanks to the tour guide assigned to me by the hotel, **Mr. Muzamil**. He was absolutely exceptional—super helpful, highly professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His insights truly enriched my visit and made the experience seamless. If you are planning a trip to Agra, The Oberoi Amarvilas is an absolute must. Thank you to Arpan, Mr. Muzamil, and the entire team for maintaining such impeccable standards of luxury hospitality. I cannot wait to return.
