Amarvilas 5
star Hotel in Agra
The Oberoi Amarvilas is the only hotel
with direct, uninterrupted views of the Taj Mahal. The hotel lies
just 600 metres from what is one of the most beautiful buildings in
the world. The Oberoi Armavilas opened in January 2001 and is
breathtakingly luxurious hotel. There is only one way to truly
experience the Taj Mahal.
The challenge for Bombay-based
architect Prabhat Patki was to create a haven that would reflect the
exotic grandeur of the monuments around them. The aim was to provide
guests with every modern service in luxury and comfort, while
adhering to strict planning laws.
He succeeded. Straight out of
an Indian fairytale, The Oberoi Amarvilas - Sanskrit for 'Eternal
Haven' - is set among lush and serene Mughal-inspired pools and
terraced gardens. Ancient and traditional Persian and Moorish
influences combine with the very best in modern Indian interior
design.
This fusion is exhibited to spectacular effect in the
cobalt blue and gold domed entrance hall, whose windows frame a
fabulous vista of the Taj Mahal. Sixty-four fountains, filigreed
stone bridges and pillars greet guests as they cross the torch-lit
forecourt of the ceremonial entrance pavilion of what appears to be
a Mughal palace
Remarkably, all 105 bedrooms and all the suites
enjoy uninterrupted breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal.
