与泰姬陵咫尺相望的栖所
欧贝罗伊阿玛维拉斯酒店占地九英亩，随处可见精美的花园修建齐整的阶梯形草坪波光粼粼的喷泉倒影池及精雕细琢的亭台楼阁。这一切或许对于经常入住奢华酒店的客人而言已是司空见惯的景致，但这座豪华至臻的酒店与举世闻名的泰姬陵仅有600米之遥，而这段距离已成为每位入住过酒店的客人难以忘却的记忆。
酒店依照莫卧儿王朝的典型风格而建，客人在酒店的任何一间客房都能够清晰窥见不远处的泰姬陵。这座世上最华美的帝王陵墓，是印度莫卧儿帝国皇帝沙•贾汗在位时（1628年1658年）兴建的，那时的王朝审美观已达到顶峰。“在距离泰姬陵如此之近开发酒店实属挑战，”酒店的建筑师Prabhat Patki表示， “我们在传统设计的基础上做了适当的调整，并且加入了其他亚洲文化的元素。”这就是我们今日所看到的位于印度北方邦阿格拉市的欧贝罗伊阿玛维拉斯酒店。
