The Ritz-Carlton, Amman opens its doors

Dubai-founded Italian fine-dining concept Roberto’s is the hotel’s signature restaurant

The Ritz-Carlton, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 hotel brands, has announced the opening of its Amman property.

Situated in the city’s Fifth Circle, rising 20 storeys above the west Amman skyline, The Ritz-Carlton, Amman features 228 guest rooms, including 34 suites.

Led by Wimberly Interiors London, the hotel’s design is inspired by the culture and history of Jordan. Artistic elements within the hotel draw inspiration from the landscape, from natural rifts of the sea and saturated colours of the earth to the deep crevices of caves and mountains.
