The Four Seasons commands the Fifth Circle with a presence that has defined luxury hospitality in Jordan since its opening — panoramic views across Amman's hillsides from every room, a rooftop pool that is the city's most coveted summer perch, and service standards that remain the regional benchmark. The hotel's Olea restaurant has evolved into a serious destination for contemporary Levantine cuisine, and the spa is among the finest in the Levant.

The rooftop restaurant with its panoramic sweep of the ancient hillscape and the Roman Theatre below is one of Amman's great dining views, and the hotel's proximity to the Downtown souqs is unmatched for sightseers.
