All rooms have a view of the Taj. We paid for the upgrade to "with balcony" - well worth the money. I have never stayed at another hotel in Agra, but I cannot imagine one better situated to view (or visit) the Taj. The hotel and it's grounds are kept to a high standard. Every view is a delight to... More

We Stayed here for our stay in Agra to visit the Taj, which we saw emerge from the mist from our room window when we woke in the morning. We hardly ever saw any other guests, and felt as if we had the entire property to ourselves. Breathtaking upon arrival through the Iron Gates, the Flowered Walkways, and Fountained Entry.... More

With only one night in Agra, this hotel with its close proximity to the Taj Mahal and advertised 6 star splendor seemed like the perfect base from which to explore the sights of Agra, however upon reflection overall it is not worth the inflated room rate.

This is a solid hotel for being close to the Taj Mahal. Well kept, with excellent staff. Good restaurant. Comfortable beds, and above average size rooms. the pool is nice, a good relaxing way to end a busy, tiring day of touring.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Taj Mahal is extraordinary as much for what it is as how it has escaped the banality of cliché. For 350 years, this monument evokes a sense of wonder. Only by being there can you witness its true majesty, its symmetry, its setting and the delicacy of its carved marble inlaid with precious stones. Now just suppose you were to overlook it from your hotel room? The Oberoi Amarvilas is 600 metres from this tribute to love. The lavish interiors and elaborate gardens add to the serenity of the scene. The guestrooms are palatial: all have magical views and are luxuriously furnished with traditional fabrics, white marble, hand-crafted ornaments and every modern amenity. There is a luxury spa offering a range of therapies, a swimming pool where snacks and drinks are served; an ornamented ballroom and fine restaurants to suit the international palate. But the lobby lounge is a feast for the eye designed, as it was, around that glorious view of the Taj Mahal. ... more   less
