Overview & Setting
Taj Hotel & Convention Centre, Agra is a 5-star hotel on Taj East Gate Road, close to the eastern approach of the Taj Mahal. The property opened under the Taj brand in 2019, having previously operated as the Radisson Blu, and is run by IHCL (the Indian Hotels Company). With 239 rooms and one of the largest convention facilities in the city, it pairs a contemporary tower with extensive event space, and is well placed for both leisure visitors and large gatherings.
The standout feature is Infini, a rooftop sky lounge that delivers a direct view of the Taj Mahal, a relative rarity even among Agra's luxury hotels. Interiors are modern and polished, with the consistent service standards associated with the Taj name. The hotel's relatively recent conversion means the rooms and public areas feel current, and the building's height gives upper floors and the rooftop a genuine line of sight to the monument, which is the single quality that distinguishes it from the many comfortable but view-less hotels along Fatehabad Road.
Location & Getting There
Taj East Gate Road places the hotel about 2 km from the Taj Mahal's east gate, the most convenient entry for early-morning visits, so guests can be among the first through the gates at sunrise. Agra (Kheria) Airport is roughly 10 km away, around 30 minutes by road, with limited and changeable domestic flights. Agra Cantt railway station, the main railhead for fast trains from Delhi including the Gatimaan and Vande Bharat, is about 10 km away and reaches the capital in around 90 minutes to two hours. The Yamuna Expressway connects Delhi to Agra in three to four hours by car, making the hotel a strong choice for a luxury overnight on the Golden Triangle. The hotel arranges transfers and guided sightseeing, including early-access Taj visits.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation runs from Deluxe and Luxury Rooms through the club-floor Taj Club Rooms, which include lounge access and added privileges, to Suites. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, with king or twin beds, a work area, large marble bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows on higher floors. The decor is restrained and modern, leaning on neutral palettes with subtle Mughal-inspired touches, and the upper-category rooms and the rooftop offer the best vantage points towards the Taj Mahal. Families will find the suites and connecting-room options useful, while the Taj Club floors suit guests wanting a quieter, more serviced experience.
Dining
Palato is the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant with international and Indian buffets, and the natural choice for breakfast before an early Taj visit. Daawat-e-Nawaab is the Indian speciality restaurant, focused on rich Mughlai and North Indian cooking that suits Agra's culinary heritage. The signature venue is Infini, the rooftop sky lounge and bar, where the draw is sunset and night views of the Taj Mahal alongside cocktails and light dining; it is one of the few places in the city to enjoy a drink with the monument in sight. There are also relaxed tea and liquid lounges in the public areas for less formal moments.
Amenities, Spa & Pool
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, the J Wellness Circle spa offering Indian and contemporary therapies, and a fitness centre. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, with a travel desk for tours and a 24-hour front desk. The hotel's defining facility, however, is its large convention and banqueting centre, which is among the most capacious in Agra and shapes the rhythm of the property, particularly in the wedding season.
Meetings & Weddings
The convention centre is among the biggest in Agra, with pillarless ballrooms and a series of meeting rooms supported by extensive lawns. The hotel is a frequent choice for destination weddings and large residential conferences, helped by its scale, central location and Taj-brand event management. The ability to host several hundred guests across indoor and outdoor spaces, combined with the rooftop Taj backdrop for ceremonies and photographs, makes it one of the city's leading venues for large celebrations.
Who It's Best For
Taj Hotel & Convention Centre, Agra is best for travellers who want a modern luxury hotel close to the Taj Mahal with a genuine rooftop Taj view, and for weddings, conventions and large events. Families and couples on a luxury Agra stop will appreciate the contemporary rooms and the Taj service standard, while the convention facilities make it a leading MICE and destination-wedding venue in the city.
