Jordan
Mid-century luxury with a modern Middle Eastern design sensibility. Confident, polished, and institutional in the best sense — this is the hotel diplomats, heads of state, and seasoned Amman regulars return to. Not buzzy or boutique. Think Club lounge with city panoramas, Lebanese feasts at Burj Al Hamam, and a spa that opens at 6am for laps before breakfast.
The Cinco De Mayo daily happy hour (5–7pm) offers 50% off cocktails and beers — a genuine deal at a 5-star hotel in Amman
Why It Matters
One of the oldest continuously operating luxury hotels in Jordan, open since 1962. Featured in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Hotels Collection. Ranked #1 of 228 hotels in Amman on TripAdvisor. Houses Burj Al Hamam, a globally award-winning Lebanese restaurant. Claims the largest rooftop terrace in Amman. Green Key certified.
Amman's grande dame of hotels. The InterContinental Jordan opened in January 1962 as the Al Urdon Hotel, joined the InterContinental brand in 1964, and has never really stopped being the city's benchmark luxury address. It sits on one of Amman's seven hills, between the 2nd and 3rd circles, in the Jabal Amman neighbourhood — close enough to Rainbow Street to walk, far enough from downtown to feel residential rather than frantic. The building itself pays tribute to classic Modernism as well as the long history of Arab architecture and design: not a flashy renovation, but a confident, thoroughly modern hotel that knows exactly what it is. Six restaurants, a serious spa with both indoor and outdoor pools, the largest rooftop terrace in the city, and 412 rooms and suites across nine floors. It carries the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Hotels Collection designation and holds Green Key sustainability certification.
