The Oberoi Amarvilas is a hotel like no other with views of the greatest monument of love—the Taj Mahal, a grand Mughal construction and world’s most visited wonder. Spread over nine acres of elaborate gardens, terraced lawns, fountains, reflection pools and pavilions, the classical design of this luxury hotel is a tribute to the legacy of Moorish and Mughal architecture, boasting awe-inspiring vistas of the most exquisite mausoleum in the world. Drawing on the rich heritage and expertise of local craftsmen, the hotel’s interiors reflect the refined aesthetics of the Mughal era with intricate filigree, marble inlay work, jaali (screens), gold threads, woodcarvings and hand-woven tapestries.
As you check-in to the luxurious ambience of The Oberoi Amarvilas, you’re greeted with a warm welcome at the main lounge by staff clad in colourful attire. Just 600 meters from the Taj Mahal, the Oberoi has 102 guest rooms, including seven suites for you to choose from. With polished timber floors, original artworks and finely handcrafted furniture, each of the guestrooms at The Oberoi Amarvilas is a celebration of Indian craftsmanship.
When it comes to ultimate stays, there’s no competition against the Amarvilas’ Kohinoor Suite, the hotel’s piece-de-resistance. The princely sanctum is a multi-room perfection, which echoes the mood of the Taj. The Kohinoor Suite also provides the guest with all modern conveniences, a private open-air terrace with sit out and a dining area. Featuring spacious lounge seating with coffee tables, and white marble and granite bathrooms offering views of the Taj Mahal, this is an abode for kings!
The Oberoi keeps its dining scene ultra-splendid with a range of restaurants and bars. The Bellevue, a multi-cuisine restaurant with a strong Continental and Indian presence on its menu. The Esphahân, an Indian restaurant boasting rich ambience and tempting cuisine. You can drink to the views of the Taj Mahal at The Bar (the only bar in the world which has a direct and uninterrupted view of the splendid monument). You can also relax in the luxurious comfort of The Lounge which serves a range of teas and coffee, along with homemade pastries and cookies baked by the master chefs.
At Amarvilas, the spa located at the lower lobby level of the stately mansion, is perfect to unwind and relax. There are four therapy rooms at the spa level, off the lower lobby, and three therapy suites on the hotel’s fourth floor that feature Taj Mahal views. The treatment suites also have their own steam area, two massage beds, bathtub, shower, and bathroom. The extensive spa menu features holistic, non-clinical therapies, massages and beauty treatments incorporating aromatherapy and Western techniques, all administered by skilful therapists. There are conventional offerings like massages, facials, while the highlights are therapeutic sound and vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls to cleanse, heated lava shells and body wraps. Treatments on the menu also consist exotic body scrubs, floral baths and rejuvenating beauty treatments.
While the main attraction at The Oberoi Amarvilas is obviously Taj Mahal vistas, the hotel also offers a range of activities or the ‘Oberoi Experiences’ for you to relax, unwind, and experience local culture when you’re done with your sightseeing. To start-off with the list, there’s Private Dinner at the balcony, where you can indulge in dinner with flowers, candles and breathtaking views of the hotel’s exquisitely landscaped gardens, cascading water bodies and the unmistakable silhouette of the Taj Mahal. You can choose from the delicacies offered on the Indian and international restaurant menus, or consult the chef to design a bespoke menu. In the evening, when the sun sets, you can Dine Under the Stars beside the cascading water bodies that enchant the private poolside pavilions.
Taj Romance at Amarvilas is a rejuvenating spa experience for couples, which uses Ayurvedic techniques. Combine Taj Romance at Amarvilas with a Hindu Renewal of Vows Ceremony for the ultimate Oberoi experience. The Oberoi Amarvilas also offers two unique experiences catered to young guests. One is the “Little Chefs” culinary experience, a 45-minute activity making cookies, cupcakes, or tandoor in a traditional clay oven. The second is called “Little Bartender” which focuses on concocting creative soft drinks with an expert mixologist.
Moreover, The Oberoi Amarvilas also offers meeting and conference facilities for up to 150 persons at its two well appointed boardrooms, The Birbal Room and The Tansen Room, lead into two regal ballrooms, Roshanara and Jahanara.
