The best hotels Jordan

The latest hotel built at the gates of the site offers very pleasant rooms, tastefully decorated and with the latest technology. Touch-sensitive switches, lights that are activated when the front door is opened, extra large and extra flat TVs, sitting areas, walk-in showers and bathroom products with Dead Sea mud: no doubt, nothing is missing for a more than comfortable stay. As a bonus, the restaurant located on the top floor serves very good food and solid breakfasts. At this price, it would be a shame to miss out.

This hotel opened its doors in August 2018. Past the very kitsch reception, it offers beautiful, spacious and spotless rooms (plasma TV, telephone, hairdryer, fridge, A/C, tea and coffee maker, wifi...). Some of them boast lovely views of the Petra mountains. A restaurant and café invite you to relax on the terrace. The hotel stands out from the big chains for its family atmosphere and attentive staff. It enjoys a beautiful location in the heart of the city, but in a quiet street. A recommended address at reasonable prices.

Before arriving at Beidha from the visitors' centre in Wadi Musa, follow the sign to the camp. The name comes from the name of the Bedouin tribe that runs it. The place is very pleasant and far from everything. It offers a rejuvenating stopover away from the tourist circus of Wadi Musa. It will be perfect for those who are looking for peace and quiet and practice a different kind of tourism. The welcome is very friendly and you dine under a large Bedouin tent. On the other hand, the rates are very prohibitive for the comfort offered. Try to negotiate.

This luxury hotel of the American chain offers impeccable comfort. The rooms, with their characterful furniture and thick carpeting, are over-equipped: plasma TV, wifi, telephone, hairdryer, safe, individual air conditioning, iron... As for the services offered, you are spoilt for choice with a gym, a spa, a hammam, a sauna, a swimming pool, several restaurants and a bar. This hotel would be flawless if it wasn't so cruelly lacking in charm. Fortunately, it makes up for it with an extraordinary view.

This hostel is quite far from the site of the ancient city, as it is located on the Kings' Road at the entrance to Wadi Musa, 5 kilometers away. Fortunately, it offers free shuttles to and from the Visitor Center. The rooms are very basic but well maintained. Some have a shared bathroom, others have their own small shower and toilet and have been recently refurbished. Some rooms even have a balcony. Travellers can meet on the restaurant's terrace, which is very pleasant.

With the takeover of the Mövenpick group by French giant Accor, the hotel has been rebranded Mercure. Set in the hills of the Sabra Valley, this fortress-style hotel is just a 10-minute drive from the site of Petra. Enjoy your stay in one of the 90 recently renovated rooms and suites. The many outdoor terraces, as well as the indoor pool heated in winter, will enable you to maximize your travel experience all year round. Sumptuous Jordanian and international cuisine served in the on-site restaurants.

This hotel is the latest 5-star in Petra, and opened its doors in 2023. Perfectly located near the entrance to the site, it also offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, as it is set high up. The rooms are spacious and perfectly equipped, even if some features are not worthy of a 5-star hotel, such as the washbasins. Nevertheless, prices are well maintained for an establishment in this category, and you benefit from a heated indoor pool and an excellent buffet breakfast.

In an exceptional natural setting, Ajlouns Cabins consists of 23 wooden chalets with a rustic decor, solar-powered bathrooms (shared or private, depending on the level of comfort chosen) and small terraces overlooking the forest. These cabins can accommodate up to 4 people. Advance booking is recommended. Beware, in summer, mosquitoes will be present, so bring an effective repellent. An adjoining restaurant offers meals at reasonable prices. You can also order a picnic to take away.

The hotel is off the beaten track, but in a pleasant area with plenty of restaurants and shops. The hotel is in the address book of the good travel agencies in Amman and you will meet many tourists from all over the world. The large rooms with comfortable bedding will guarantee you a pleasant stay. The extremely friendly staff is a tribute to Jordanian hospitality and will leave you with an indelible memory, as will the well-stocked buffet breakfasts, allowing you to sample some of the country's delicious specialities.

The hotel is located very far from the south of the city and welcomes mostly groups of tourists who are fully catered for. Indeed, the very residential area has almost no restaurants and you have to walk at least 10 minutes to the main street to hope to get a taxi. But if you are by car, the situation is different. You can leave your car in the secure car park and you are only a few minutes away from the exit of Amman. The rooms offer a very simple and standardised comfort, but very real. The breakfast buffet is copious and varied.

Amman's latest 5* hotel opened its doors in May 2022, on the 5th Circle, where all the capital's major hotels are located. The space is at the height of a hotel in this category, and so are the services: swimming pool, spas, gym, several restaurants, a bar-smoking room... Rooms are tastefully opulent, in silver-gray tones. Bathrooms include bath and shower. And what can we say about the extensive buffet breakfast, with the option of sitting out on the terrace in fine weather?

Overlooking the Cercle de Paris on one side and the Citadel and Umayyad Palace on the other, Hotel Liv Weibdeh enjoys an unrivalled location in Jabal Weibdeh. You're right in the heart of the action in this historic district, considered Amman's artistic and cultural center. The rooms are very comfortable and above all very bright, all with large windows. The hotel is new and modern, so you can be sure of every comfort. The breakfast served in the restaurant is copious and delicious. You won't be disappointed.

The elegance of the Four Seasons chain and the quality of its services make this hotel one of the best in the city, but also one of the most expensive. Excellence comes at a price, which makes it a bit of a disadvantage compared to other hotels in its category, which are more "affordable" and yet very luxurious. At this level nothing is left to chance: gigantic rooms with luxurious contemporary furniture, high quality buffets, numerous restaurants, various lounges, spa and indoor/outdoor pools with views of the city, sauna. The only drawback is that it is a bit out of the way.

The location is without charm but perfect for a stopover in Amman at affordable prices. Located in a quiet and green area close to the bus station of Abdali and the low town, this modern building renovated for the first time in 1998, and recently in 2017, offers single rooms and renovated en suite bathrooms. However, check the cleanliness of sheets and blankets, and ask to change if needed. Garden, pleasant, parking. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel has an elegant look with its stylish furniture, pleated satin curtains, mouldings and fake parquet floors. It offers its guests rooms equipped with kitchenette and dining area. They are therefore rather intended for a business clientele or for a long stay. The decoration is what one could call "American style", opting for functional and solid furniture rather than aesthetic. The hotel includes a pub and access to the fitness club, which is just a few steps away.

The Grand Hyatt is one of the most expensive hotels in the capital, but it has the sophistication of a design hotel. Lounge terrace, design bar and trendy club (JJ's). Its central location (between lower city and Shmeisani on the^3rd circle), its many restaurants (Asian, Italian, buffets) or its fitness center (swimming pool, sauna, jaccuzzi, gym) make it very attractive for tourists. The view of the great mosque from the outdoor pools is incredible. The elegant rooms with huge beds are very well equipped.

It's hard not to notice this high cylinder with its original curves that dominates the 3rd Circle and that serves as a landmark for the whole city because it's so gigantic. However, the atmosphere is not always very lively in this huge and slightly overrated vessel. The 286 luxuriously equipped rooms (making it one of the largest hotels in the city) offer a breathtaking view of the lower city. Hotel residents can take advantage of the sauna, a whirlpool and two pools to their heart's content, as well as a number of restaurants. The service is attentive.

This small hotel located below the^2nd circle on a very quiet street allows you to enjoy the nightlife of Rainbow Street without having to suffer the consequences. The accommodation consists of small suites with a living room equipped with a TV, refrigerator, air conditioning and one or more bedrooms depending on the size. The modern and elegant decoration, from the rooms to the common areas, will not fail to seduce you. Breakfast is served in your room. The hotel has wifi and a car park.

This newly built hostel is located just a few steps away from Rainbow Street, the restaurant street of old Amman. Inside, modern and colourful spaces, a young atmosphere and helpful staff await you. The rooms are decorated with furniture made of recycled materials, comfortable and well equipped (WiFi, hot water, heating, TV...). But their price remains a bit high for the service. On the other hand, nothing to say about the very cheap dormitories. You will find the traditional manakish on the breakfast table.

The Emirati hotel chain Rotana doesn't do things by halves: the luxury apartments (from studios to 4-bedroom penthouses with private pools) are spacious, tastefully decorated in white tones contrasting with dark wood, with all the comforts you need. The two restaurants Café Italia and Café Margaux have a terrace with a view. The establishment has indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, a spa... And the rates remain reasonable.

You can't find a better location than this hotel if you dream of falling asleep facing the Roman amphitheatre. It's right across the street. This also means that you will be subjected to traffic noise, as the main artery of the city centre passes under the hotel's windows. Although the cleanliness sometimes leaves something to be desired, the rooms are still very decent and have a pleasant size. However, some of them could do with a fresh coat of paint. Despite its faded appearance, the hotel offers good value for money.

Thair Majed took over this establishment in 2017, giving it a complete renovation. As a result, the address has become one of the best deals in the old city, thanks to its very studied rates. Located on the heights of Jebel Al-Weibdeh in a small street, not very busy, you are only a stone's throw from the lower town and its traditional stores. The warm welcome of the owner and the friendly staff are part of the strong points of the establishment, as well as the tasteful decoration. The comfortable rooms are air-conditioned.

This small hotel with only 30 rooms has many advantages. With its very central location, between the Hussein Mosque and the Roman Amphitheatre, you have easy access to the main sites to visit in Amman and to restaurants. The hotel's tasteful decor, beautifully decorated common areas with antique furniture and knick-knacks and friendly staff make it a pleasant stopover. The rooms on the street are equipped with double glazing and all enjoy the same attention to detail as the rest of the hotel. A real bargain.

The Accor Group's luxury chain is present on Amman's 5th Circle with the Fairmont Hotel. The impressive lobby welcomes you in Grand Siècle style, with emerald velvet loveseats, crystal chandeliers, marble... Nothing is too beautiful. The rooms are impeccably comfortable and soberly decorated. We love the far-reaching view of the city, with its changing colors depending on the time of day. The hotel also boasts a number of excellent restaurants, including a Lebanese restaurant, a steak house and a Japanese restaurant.
