Why guests love itThe Oberoi Amarvilas sits closer to the Taj Mahal than almost any other hotel in the city, and its outdoor pool is set within manicured grounds built around that proximity. At a 9.7 rating across nearly 800 reviews, this is a property built for travellers who want the monument itself to shape their stay, not just a nearby room. The spa and multiple restaurants round out what functions as a full luxury base rather than a simple overnight stop before sightseeing.
