ITC Mughal
ITC Mughal sits on Fatehabad Road in Taj Ganj, a few minutes' drive from the Taj Mahal's east gate. The low-rise buildings in red sandstone and brick are set around wide lawns, water channels and a long pool, inspired by Mughal garden design. The scale means it rarely feels crowded, even when full.
The hotel is known for Kaya Kalp, its large spa, and for its restaurants, including Peshawri for north-west frontier cooking. Rooms range from garden-facing rooms to suites, some with views towards the Taj in the distance. We recommend ITC Mughal for families, for longer stays and for travellers who want space and gardens to return to between visits.
Why we book it

Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Can you see the Taj Mahal from ITC Mughal?
Some rooms and suites at ITC Mughal have distant views towards the Taj Mahal, but it is not a feature of every room as it is at The Oberoi Amarvilas. The hotel's appeal is its gardens, spa and space. The Taj's east gate is a short drive away.
Is ITC Mughal good for families?
Yes. Its large grounds, long pool and spacious rooms suit families with children, and the restaurants handle a wide range of tastes. It is a few minutes from the Taj Mahal by car. We often recommend it for families staying two or three nights in Agra.
What is Kaya Kalp at ITC Mughal?
Kaya Kalp is the hotel's spa, offering massages, Ayurvedic and other treatments, along with steam and sauna facilities. It is one of the larger hotel spas in north India and makes a good afternoon after a sunrise visit to the Taj. Book treatments in advance.
