I was looking on line at the The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra India and was thinking about booking a room with a balcony for two nights when I visit the Taj Mahal, Its £690 a night.... Do you think it would be worth the money?

Why not go for go for the Grand Luxury Suite for just a tad over £1000 a night?
Pffft I'd stay in the Kohinoor suite, 5 grand per night.
I find that the benefits tail off rapidly as you spend more, then you have to spend a disproportionate amount of time in the room or hotel to feel you get your monies worth.
I'd want 2 toilets for that money and bottled water to brush my teeth.
I wouldn't. It's riddled with evil spirits. Look out behind you.....
That's OK, he'll just take his Buddha statue.
Good point!
And he's going to bathe in the Ganges to get rid of them. Or was that for something else? I've forgotten. Either way he's covered.
The room was about £200*. The final bill (for just one night) was about £400.
Not even sure how we racked up £200 on food, room service and extras but it was worth it, not a bad night.
* Worth pointing out that even this was discounted. We got a good deal somehow - can't remember how though, this was 3-4 years ago now.
Four Seasons Sydney - more than the above
A certain hotel in Dubai - more than the two above added together
We had this deal whereby, if there was bad weather forecast, we could elect to stay aboard the ship and get on with the work and, by way of compensation, we got a night in a nice hotel in Alexandria for every night we stayed aboard the ship.
There was a storm, we stayed on the ship for nearly a week and, as a result, we got a week in the nice hotel in Alexandria.
I was briefly gutted to find that I'd be sharing the room with the other guy I was working with but things began to look up when I found we didn't have a room key and, instead, we just had a swipe-card-thing that made the lift go further up.
Turned out we had the entire penthouse floor of the hotel to ourselves and, basically, everything was either marble, gold or glass.
Considering we were "sharing" the place, I didn't even see the other guy for 4 days and then it was only 'cos I phoned him and we arranged to have dinner.
When I met up with him in the restaurant he had some hot chick with him and it turned out she was also, erm, part of the "gratuity" as well.
Had to sign the bill when we left and the grand total, for 7 days and 6 nights, was $85,000-odd.
The weather wasn't great and we were back there quite a bit too.
I think It was about £1200 a night back then, it's all they had left and the company i worked for made a balls up with the reservation so i got upgraded.
