The 20-story, 228-room Ritz-Carlton, Amman is the most spacious hotel property in Jordan. Wimberly Interiors London designed all of the guestrooms and suites, and the hotel’s interior is inspired by the culture and history of Jordan, reflected in the bold interior architecture, tailored lighting, Art Deco touches and contemporary artwork.

 

The breathtaking 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 guestrooms reflect the country’s natural elements, sand and sea.

 

Roberto’s, the hotel’s signature restaurant, offers Italian fine dining for guests and local visitors.  Guests can also dine at Ambros, a casual dining option, or at Sarab Garden for a sophisticated shisha lounge featuring upscale regional cuisine.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
