The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra is pretty unique among hotels; it offers a view with a room. E M Forster, who knew a thing or two about India, would have been impressed. The Amarvilas has all the trappings of the finest Oberoi hospitality, but with the unique bonus of a direct view of the Taj Mahal. Could there be a better combination?
For most people, Agra is their first destination outside Delhi and if you wind up at the Oberoi Amarvilas you’ll happily feel that your Indian adventure has got off to a flying start.
There is nothing more special than waking up to a distant view of the ultimate monument to love. Surprisingly, the Taj is not lit up at night, so enjoy the daylight views.
The Oberoi Amarvilas is inside the Taj Mahal buffer zone, a very short private golf buggy ride to the entrance. Guests from other hotels have to get the government operated communal shuttle bus.
