The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort, Ranthambhore

If a classification would exist for a 7 star property these fellas would be first in line. Oberoi Vanyavilas does what is pretty difficult to do. Excel across all touch points. Flows from the top with Ms Ratna who clearly leads from the front. The rooms are beautiful, the outside even more so, the food is utterly outstanding and the service prompt and courteous. Even amongst Oberoi properties, which have a high standard, this property would probably be at the top.

Our stay at Oberoi Vanyavilas Ranthambhore was an absolute dream, exceeding every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by Nishkarsh, who ensured our rooms were perfectly prepared and ready, setting the tone for a spectacular visit. The resort itself is a haven of peace, filled with lush nature and serene landscapes—the most peaceful place we’ve ever visited. Despite many guests being present, we never once felt crowded and never had to wait for any service, which was outstanding at every turn. Special thanks to Sauav, Vinit, and Aftab for their exceptional service; their attentive care made us feel genuinely valued. Sandhya orchestrated an unforgettable birthday dinner for our son, treating him like a prince and creating memories we will treasure forever. Prachi, the master yoga teacher, provided incredible sessions that helped us deeply relax and recharge. Her guidance was truly restorative. The safaris were thrilling and memorable, but the true magic of our stay was the tranquility and beauty of the resort itself. The traditional musicians in the restaurant provided mesmerizing performances each evening, complementing the delicious food perfectly. We wholeheartedly recommend Oberoi Vanyavilas Ranthambhore for anyone seeking an exceptional retreat filled with nature, tranquility, impeccable service, and genuine warmth. This place truly has it all!

The grounds were beautiful. The staff ever helpful and our guide informative. And yes, we saw tigers thanks to our expert guide. Walk the property, go up the tower, grab the binoculars and bird watch. Thanks again. A must stay on your trip to India.

This hotel is a perfect blend of luxury and friendliness. The rooms are extremely comfortable. The staff are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The naturalist walk around the grounds was excellent and the outside bar was lovely. The pool area is a little oasis and a member of staff brought me water and a little bottle of Oberoi suncream. The food is delicious.

We recently stayed at the Vanyavilas hotel and loved the experience. The resort, and gardens are beautiful, just outside Ranthambore town and the Ranthambore reserve. Upon arrival we were informed that an error had been made with our safari the next day, which was very disappointing, but from that point on the staff couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. We would like to recognise Divyesh Shetty and Ratna Malhotra in particular for going above and beyond to make our stay so special. The restaurant was excellent, with lots of options throughout the day to accommodate the safari times. The luxury tents are simply stunning, really comfortable, some of the best accommodation I have ever stayed at.

This has to be one of the best hotels in India, if not the world. The Oberoi is 7 stars for opulence and service. From the greetings, to the room, to the restaurant and the tiger drives, it is all top notch. If you can afford to stay at Oberoi properties, do yourself a big favour. What a wonderful experience. Thank you to all the staff that made our stay so incredible.
