Oberoi Amarvilas

Top choice in Agra


Following Oberoi's iron-clad modus operandi of maharaja-level service, exquisite dining and properties that pack some serious wow factor, Agra's best hotel by far oozes style and luxury. Elegant interior design is suffused with Mughal themes, a composition carried over into the exterior fountain courtyard and stunning swimming pool, both of which are set in a delightful stepped water garden.

All rooms (and even some bathtubs) have wonderful Taj views. Online discounts of 30% are common.
