The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra, India
The Oberoi Amarvilas enjoys an unrivalled position amongst luxury hotels in Agra, being located just 600 metres from the iconic Taj Mahal. Each of the rooms affords uninterrupted views of this ancient monument to love, while elements of the layout and design pay homage to its Mughal splendour. The hotel is approached along a sweeping driveway, verdant with native trees and lit by flaming torches. Just inside, a Mughal style quadrant is ornamented with cascading fountains, framed by an arched passageway and gold leaf frescoes. By day, guests can travel in the private golf buggies to the Taj Mahal. At night, they can savour a candlelit dinner beside its soft silhouette. Guests looking for a luxury dining restaurant in Agra can choose from two restaurants and their distinctly different flavours. Bellevue is brightly lit, open all day, and serves Indian and continental cuisine. Across the hallway, you will find the Indian speciality restaurant, Esphahan, which offers candlelit dinners accompanied by live traditional music. The poolside terraces afford starlit private dining.
