W Amman debuted earlier this month, the first W property in the country. With 280 guestrooms, it provides a desirable location in the Abdali neighborhood and a design inspired by local history and culture.

“Jordan is an incredible country, rich with culture and a deep connection to its history. We could not be happier to make our brand debut in the country here in the capital city,” said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide. “Amman, and specifically the exciting new downtown district of Abdali, is an ideal destination for the W brand with its engaging social scene and deeply rooted passion for design, music and fashion.”

W Amman’s striking lobby features decor accented by reinterpretations of Petra’s rock formations and canyon and elements of Bedouin weaving. Artwork celebrates local contributors. The 236 guestrooms and 44 suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows and modern bathrooms with rain showers. Accents incorporate inspiration from the desert and Amman skyline. The Extreme WOW Suite provides panoramic views of the city, an in-room DJ deck and private Jacuzzi.

On-site dining includes Mesh, serving international and Levantine cuisine; Aura, with signature cocktails and international bar food; and Enso, offering Pan-Asian cuisine in a contemporary setting. The WET Deck design is a modern depiction of The Roman Theater’s Atrium and the space is pitched as the latest Amman party destination.
