Ekaa Agra
Taj Nagri Phase II; Agra, India
Ekaa Agra offers an intimate way into the city through design, food and locally arranged experiences. Its thirteen rooms interpret Agra's architectural details and handicrafts, with individual colour schemes and references to inlay work, arches and historic patterns. Grand King, King and Queen categories keep the accommodation selection easy to understand. The kitchen centres on recipes associated with the city's homes, while cooking classes and local tours can give a visit more depth than a succession of monument stops. A library, living room and alfresco dining spaces add to the small-hotel atmosphere. This is our choice for travellers who value an independent character and a closer connection to Agra's everyday culture. Allow time for the kitchen and an experience arranged through the travel desk, since these are central reasons to choose it. Ekaa's scale also makes it a useful change of pace within an itinerary otherwise dominated by large luxury hotels, particularly for guests who enjoy design with a local story.
