Why we recommend it
The InterContinental Jordan is one of Amman's best-known five-star hotels, perched on one of the city's seven hills on Islamic College Street. Its central position makes it convenient for both the historic sights and the newer districts, and it suits business travellers as well as holidaymakers.
Dining is a strong point, with six restaurants under one roof. Burj Al Hamam serves Lebanese cuisine, Indu specialises in Indian food, Soba Sushi Bar offers Japanese dishes, and Cinco De Mayo serves Mexican food, with a daily happy hour from 17:00 to 19:00. The range means guests on a longer stay can eat well every evening without leaving the hotel, though the city's independent restaurants, from Sufra and Fakhreldin to the falafel counters of Downtown, are only a short taxi ride away.
Room categories run from Classic and Premium rooms to Junior Suites, Club Suites and the Presidential and Royal Suites. For leisure, there is a heated indoor pool and an outdoor pool, plus SPA InterContinental with a jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms. Check the spa's age policy when booking, as the published wording is unclear.
The hotel suits business travellers, couples and families who want a full-service hotel close to the centre. It is a practical base for sightseeing, with Downtown, Rainbow Street and Abdali all reachable by a short taxi ride, and day trips to Jerash, Madaba and the Dead Sea easy to arrange with a driver or tour operator.
Rates sit in the upper bracket of the city's hotels. Club Suites offer more space and are worth considering for longer stays. The hotel's general email, [email protected], is useful for special requests before arrival, and the front desk can be reached on +962 6 464 1361.
If you are deciding between the large five-star hotels, the InterContinental's advantages are its central location and its choice of restaurants, while the Fifth Circle hotels are quieter and further west. Book ahead during conference periods and the spring and autumn travel seasons. Burj Al Hamam is a convenient place to try Lebanese mezze on your first evening if you arrive late and would rather not go out.
