5-star hotels in Agra
This shortlist covers Agra's 5-star hotels, from ultra-luxury resorts near the Taj Mahal to modern business hotels. It is for travellers who want a top-class stay and are deciding where to base themselves in the city.
Staying in Agra
Agra is more than the Taj Mahal: it is a bustling city with Mughal tombs, gardens such as Mehtab Bagh, markets and a cuisine rich in Mughlai dishes and petha sweets. The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, and the best time to visit is from October to March.
These 5-star hotels sit mainly in Taj Ganj, along Fatehabad Road and near the Taj Mahal's east gate. Taj Ganj is the area closest to the monument;
Fatehabad Road is a quieter upscale strip; and some hotels are on Mall Road or farther out. Couples, families and business travellers all find options: some have family rooms and kids' pools, others focus on fitness and business facilities.
