The Ritz-Carlton, part of Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio of hotel brands, has opened The Ritz-Carlton, Amman, at the prestigious Fifth Circle. The new hotel features 228 guest rooms over 20 stories in seven categories, including 34 suites.
"We are thrilled to bring The Ritz-Carlton brand to Amman, embodying our commitment to delivering unparallelled experiences and creating meaningful memories in the world's most exciting markets," said Donna McNamara, VP and Global Brand Leader for The Ritz-Carlton.
"From exquisite culinary craftmanship to treasured family moments, The Ritz-Carlton, Amman will embrace guests with its legendary service, and offer a unique lens on this charming capital city."
Led by Wimberly Interiors London, the hotel's design is inspired by the culture and history of Jordan, which is reflected in the hotel's bold interior architecture, tailored lighting, Art Deco touches and contemporary artistry. Artistic elements within the hotel draw inspiration from the landscape of the kingdom, from natural rifts of the sea and saturated colors of the earth to the deep crevices of caves and mountains.
The structures of Petra are reflected in a series of vignettes, while Roman and Nabatean architectural features are given modern reinterpretations throughout the hotel. The floor finishes in the guest corridors pay homage to Jordan's desert landscape, and the guestrooms take inspiration from the destination's natural elements, sand and sea.
The Ritz-Carlton, Amman offers a wide range of dining options. Rising over the Amman skyline on the hotel's 20th floor is the signature restaurant, Roberto's. Already a much-loved fixture on Dubai's culinary scene, the arrival of Roberto's is expected to redefine the concept of authentic Italian fine dining in Jordan.
Guests can also indulge at Ambros, a relaxed dining option in the lobby serving unique seasonal produce and reimagined classics. Iris, also in the hotel lobby, is a tea lounge and pâtisserie featuring a selection of signature eclairs and high tea experiences. At Sarab Garden, visitors can enjoy shisha lounge and upscale regional cuisine. The Founders Room delivers an elevated menu offering sophisticated bites.
Opening this summer, Soleil will appeal to guests looking for healthy dining with its focus on vegetarian dishes and a coffee roastery. Legends, a sports lounge with American-style culinary fare, is set to open later this year.
The Ritz-Carlton, Amman is home to a wide array of facilities for corporate guests, including a 1,050 sq m Grand Ballroom, five meeting rooms, one boardroom, and a luxurious Club Lounge. The Ritz-Carlton Spa is a full-service spa and wellness centre offering ESPA products, indoor and outdoor temperature-controlled pools, six treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge and the largest jacuzzi in Amman.
