Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Abdali
The W brand's arrival in Amman announced the city's ambitions as a lifestyle-luxury destination emphatically — the WOW suites, WET rooftop pool deck, and living room bar have become the social staging grounds for Amman's creative elite. The design, a bold interpretation of Jordan's desert geology in polished concrete and amber stone, is simultaneously unmistakably local and globally sophisticated.
Jabal Amman
An understated boutique gem near Rainbow Street that occupies two converted traditional Ammani houses — vaulted ceilings, locally commissioned artworks, and a rooftop terrace with Citadel views that become extraordinary at sunset and magical after dark. The personalised service and neighbourhood location provide a window into contemporary Amman that the business district hotels cannot replicate.
Jabal Amman
The finest boutique hotel in Amman — a lovingly restored 1940s villa on the Third Circle, its garden suite and generous suites furnished with Jordanian crafts, Palestinian embroidery, and the kind of personal attention that only a 16-room property can provide. The daily breakfast of Levantine spreads, freshly baked ka'ak, and local dairy served on the garden terrace is worth staying for alone.
Abdali
Kempinski's flagship Jordan property brings its characteristic European grandeur to Amman's new CBD district — generous rooms with panoramic city views, a comprehensive Kempinski The Spa, and the exceptional Noodle House restaurant that consistently wins regional gastronomy awards. Its position in the Abdali development makes it the natural choice for Gulf business travellers and Middle East conference groups.
Swefieh
Amman's most established luxury property in the upscale Swefieh residential district offers 289 rooms and suites of reliable Sheraton quality, an outdoor pool set within manicured gardens, and a position near the city's best independent restaurants that suits longer-stay visitors more than the business-district competition. The Lebanese restaurant Fakhr El-Din is a landmark dining institution.
Abdali
A Jordanian institution since 1963, the InterContinental has hosted every head of state, negotiation, and cultural event of significance in the Kingdom over six decades. The property's sweeping hilltop position, famous outdoor pools, and the warmth of Jordanian hospitality that permeates its corridors make it a deeply civilised, storied choice for those who value history alongside luxury.
