11 Best Luxury Hotels in India for a Premium Stay

9. Oberoi Amarvilas — Agra (Direct Taj-view luxury)

Oberoi Amarvilas is designed around its direct views of the Taj Mahal—many rooms offer uninterrupted vistas, and the hotel schedules sunrise viewing services to make early visits comfortable and private. The property’s Mughal-inspired gardens and marble décor create a thematic complement to the monuments of Agra. Practical access: Agra has domestic airport options and straightforward rail links from Delhi; the nearest major international hub is Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) with a 3–4 hour road transfer, or shorter transfers from Agra’s local airport when available. The best visiting months are October to March for clear skies and mild temperatures. Typical nightly rates generally range from $400–$1,200 depending on view and suite selection. The Amarvilas is ideal when the Taj is your primary focus—choose a room with a Taj-facing balcony for early-morning photos and private moments.
