Just 2,000 ft from the world's greatest monument to love—the Taj Mahal—you’ll find The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra. A homage to the elaborate Mughal architecture that surrounds it, this fairytale, ochre-hued hotel is nestled within nine acres of manicured gardens, terraced lawns, fountains, reflection pools, and pavilions, all gazing toward the famed white-domed mausoleum nearby.

Uniquely positioned as the only hotel on the greenbelt surrounding the Taj Mahal, guests of The Oberoi Amarvilas enjoy privileged access to the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site, courtesy of the hotel’s dedicated transport service.

Despite opening in the early 2000s, the hotel evokes the old-world allure of its surroundings and has firmly remained one of India’s most sought-after properties for over two decades. Passing through the entrance pavilion, guests are greeted by intricate filigree and marble inlay work, decorative jaali screens, gold-thread and bead embroidery, wood carvings, and hand-woven tapestries.

Rooms and suites are split into two wings, all offering uninterrupted views of the Taj Mahal. The most spectacular of these is the aptly named Kohinoor Suite. In true Oberoi style, modern luxuries are seamlessly intertwined with traditional details, such as white marble elephants, golden domed ceilings, marble columns, and handmade rugs. Each room within the suite offers breathtaking views of Agra’s most famous monument—even the king-sized bed and freestanding bath face directly toward it.

The ensuite bathroom features a double vanity and a glass-paneled, walk-in rain shower that opens onto a private sun terrace with loungers. The elegant living room also extends to a magnificent terrace—an ideal setting for a romantic dinner overlooking one of the world’s most majestic sites. Additionally, the suite includes a separate dining room that seats eight, serviced by a pantry and a fully stocked minibar.

The Kohinoor Suite comes complete with a dedicated butler and a private butler’s entrance, ensuring that you won’t have to lift a finger during your stay.
