OBEROI AMARVILAS
Agra, Uttar Pradesh
The property: An over-the-top fantasia inspired by Moorish and Moghul palaces, this hotel has 102 rooms and suites scattered among terraced gardens, spouting fountains, reflecting pools, and cushion-strewn lounging pavilions. The location: A mere 600 meters from the singularly spectacular Taj Mahal. Rooms to Book: Premier rooms with balconies allow for hours of gazing over the famous Taj. Don't Miss: A cocktail on the patio bar—one of the only places where you can toast within view of one of the Seven Wonders of the World. More information: Oberoi Amarvilas
