The Best Hotels and Resorts in Asia: The Gold List 2025

"Two years ago my wife and I arrived in Agra on a rainy weekend, and the Amarvilas was closed for a refurb. The hotel we stayed at promised a view of the Taj Mahal; from one particular corner of the roof, up a staircase, you could get a slight glimpse of the dome—if the skies were clear. This time, though, the property was open, and when I walked into the lobby of the renovated Amarvilas, I was unprepared and stunned. Beyond the atrium, rising above a lush green treeline, was the beauty. I spent the next two days doing just what the designers of this grand property intended: gaze at the Taj. Standing less than 2,000 feet from the Taj Mahal, the Amarvilas has the best and most exclusive view of the mausoleum. The architects maximized this by giving each of the 95 rooms and seven suites an unhindered view. The suites take it up a few notches—the daybeds, the shower, and the tub all look over the marbled wonder. What’s more sensuous than a soak on a moonlit night with a view of the Taj? From $750. —Salil Deshpande" - CNT Editors

The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

"The entrance to this Moorish-Mogul hotel is all arches and sandstone columns, with 64 carved-stone fountains. Elsewhere, the design includes gold leaf, filigree mesh screens, and etched-glass chandeliers. All teak-floored rooms and suites have stunning, unobstructed views of the Taj Mahal, as well as hand-embroidered headboards. In some rooms, guests can dine on the balcony or in the private poolside pavilion. Try a milk and rose-petal bath or a Hungarian wrap at the Oberoi Spa. A selection of kebabs, lamb rogan josh, and traditional cottage cheese dumplings with saffron are on the menu at Esphahan. Editor's Pick: Gold List 2018"

This 24-day Private Jet Trip Will Take You to Every Disney Park Around the World

"If the Taj Mahal were a performance, The Oberoi Amarvilas would be the front-row seats. Just a few steps from the eastern gate of India’s most iconic monument, this luxury hotel—which is often ranked as one of the world’s best—is full of Mughal-inspired design, from the arched walkways and marble accents to the inlaid-wood furnishings and gold leaf–embellished frescoes that appears throughout the common areas. Things get even more beautiful at night, when the hotel illuminates its numerous fountains and terraces and serves romantic, candlelit dinners by the pool. Rooms here are as elegant as you might expect, with teak floors, deep soaking tubs, and unobstructed views of the Taj Mahal."

We had a truly unforgettable experience in Agra.||We stayed two nights at The Oberoi Amarvilas, and it was nothing short of magical. The hotel is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal from our room. The service was impeccable — warm, attentive, and personalized. From the luxurious amenities to the beautifully landscaped grounds, everything was perfect. Waking up to a view of the Taj was an experience we’ll never forget.||Our guide, Sandeep, was exceptional — knowledgeable, polite, punctual, and helpful throughout our visit. He provided a well-paced and engaging tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, sharing fascinating historical details and ensuring we felt comfortable every step of the way. His passion for the heritage of Agra really shone through.||Highly recommend both The Oberoi Amarvilas and Sandeep as a guide for anyone visiting Agra — they made our trip truly special.

From the moment we stepped into The Oberoi Amarvilas, we were completely enchanted. This hotel isn’t just the best in Agra—it’s one of the most breathtaking places we’ve ever stayed, with a direct view of the Taj Mahal from our room that took our breath away, every single time.||||Everything at Amarvilas is designed to create an atmosphere of timeless beauty and calm. The Mughal-inspired architecture, lush gardens, fountains, and private terraces all feel like part of a royal estate rather than a hotel. But as stunning as the property is, what truly elevates the experience is the extraordinary Oberoi staff.||||Traveling with children, it’s rare to find a hotel that blends elegance with warmth, but Amarvilas does it effortlessly. From check-in to check-out, our kids were welcomed, entertained, and spoiled with attention. Personalized treats, thoughtful gifts, and even a child-sized robe and slippers made them feel like little VIPs. The team treated them with so much kindness and patience, creating magical moments for our entire family.||||Watching the sunrise over the Taj with a warm cup of tea in hand while the kids played on the terrace is a memory we’ll treasure forever. The private golf cart service to the Taj entrance is such a thoughtful touch—it made the experience seamless and special.||||The food was exceptional, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere serene. Every detail was curated with precision, yet everything felt so natural and warm. You don’t just visit the Taj Mahal when you stay here—you live with it.||||To everyone at Amarvilas: thank you for one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. Your dedication to excellence, and especially the care you gave our children, made this stay unforgettable. We will return—not just for the Taj, but for the way you made us feel.

We did a 1 night stay ||||The staff at this hotel are absolutely lovely—warm, welcoming, and eager to help. However, communication can sometimes be a challenge, so patience is key. ||||The hotel is perfectly situated for visiting the Taj Mahal, and their recommended tour guides are **excellent**—knowledgeable and professional. If you're here for the Taj, booking this hotel for the convenience and views is a smart choice. ||||A few areas could be enhanced: ||- **Food:** While perfectly safe (nothing made us ill), the dining fell a bit short of expectations. More quality is the issue. They did however give me wonderful reduced spice curry which gave me a real chance to experience Indian food without aggravating heath issue I have.||||- **Bar Selection:** The beer choices are limited—expanding the selection would be a big plus. Haiving the bar area child free would be even better. That said, **don’t miss the Indian wine**—it’s surprisingly good! ||||They do need to fix the Audi they collect guest in but I would highly recommend booking collection if coming into agra airport because the driver was a standout member of staff.||||Overall, a solid stay with some standout service and location, but some tweaks could make it even better. ||||I have emailed the hotel to provide full feedback as Rohit contacted me for it.

With a heavy heart, we’re leaving Amar Vilas Palace, but what we’re really taking with us are beautiful memories that we’ll cherish forever. This was much more than a luxury stay — it truly felt like a dream.||A big thank you to Baru, whose warmth, care, and attention to every little detail made our stay so special. From the surprise advance birthday celebration, the chocolates with our photos, the sweet “See You Soon” and “Come Back Soon” messages, to the birthday pillow for Juhi — every gesture was straight from the heart.||The food experience was outstanding. Every thing was perfect — warm service, tasty snacks, and honestly, the dal was the best I’ve ever had! The desserts were amazing too, especially the rasmalai — served at just the right temperature. I even asked for another plate, and they brought it with a smile.||Thank you to Siddhant and Koyel for taking such good care of us during both breakfast and dinner. Ishan, the Restaurant Manager, was always around making sure everything was smooth. And hats off to Chef Vibhor — every dish was made with so much thought and love.||A big thanks to the housekeeping team as well — Phidalun made sure our room was always ready on time, and Deepti not only kept everything spotless but also made a lovely Rangoli that really touched us.||We were warmly welcomed by Arpan, the Rooms Division Manager, right when we arrived. We also got to meet Rohit, the Hotel Manager — very kind and professional. And thank you to Rahul, the Acting F&B Manager, for everything running so smoothly.||The thoughtful gifts and Baru’s handwritten letter are memories we’ll carry with us forever.||Thank you, Baru, for not just planning a stay — but creating moments that truly moved us.||If you’re thinking of visiting Amar Vilas — just go for it. It’s not just a stay, it’s a beautiful experience.||With heartfelt thanks,|Prince

It is always a privilege to return to this wonderful property. Our stay was pretty perfect again. We received a warm welcome and were assisted by Mr. Sujal and Mr. Arpan for our check-in and welcome formalities. We had booked the premier room with balcony and we were allotted one of the central rooms with the extra large balconies. The room was wonderfully kept throughout our stay by the housekeeping team.||Food was pretty good, be it at the restaurant or IRD. The staff at the bar were also very cordial and they made us two lovely cocktails in the evening.||The Oberoi Spa at this hotel is a must try. The spa rooms are on the 4th floor with uninterrupted views of Taj Mahal. Our couples therapy session was fabulously delivered by Ms. Tei and Ms. Sonshi. It was truly a rejuvenating experience.||We received a warm send off during our departure by Mr. Aishwarya. Our stay was made very memorable by the incredible team at this property. I hope to be back here in the near future.

Almost everything positive has been written about Amarvilas - all true.|The rooms aren't the largest, but they are supremely comfortable, with the views of the Taj Mahal being the ultimate bonus.||All of the staff were beyond welcoming and competent. ||The best experience, however, was arranging private tours with Muzzamil Hussain through the concierge team. His depth of knowledge of the history and art related to the Taj, the Red Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri was extraordinary, as were his insights into the religions and Indian history (from the 10th century to now). ||I often take solo specialty tours, and Muzzamil ranks among the best guides I've had. He made the stay at a fantastic hotel with an incomparable staff even more memorable.
