The Amman Marriott Hotel is a large, full-service hotel on Issam Al Ajlouni Street in the Shmeissani and Abdali area of Amman, with 292 rooms ranging from deluxe and executive rooms to executive and royal suites. It has an indoor pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, a spa, a gym, five restaurants, a poolside bar, a terrace and a garden, as well as a hair salon and on-site shopping. Free self-parking and free valet parking make it easy for guests who rent a car for day trips to Jerash, the Dead Sea or Petra. It is a dependable choice for families, business travelers and visitors who want broad facilities and a district that is away from the old downtown.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in central Amman, about a two-minute drive from the King Abdullah I Mosque, and Abdali Mall is about 1.6 kilometers away, which is a walk of around twenty minutes. The Citadel and Rainbow Street are within about five kilometers by road, and the lively downtown area with the Roman Theatre is a short taxi ride. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way to move around Amman, because the city is hilly and distances between sights are longer than they look on a map.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms come in deluxe and executive grades with king or twin beds, and the executive rooms are worth considering for more space. The indoor pool is available all year, while the outdoor pool is seasonal and open in daytime hours, so confirm that for your dates. Five restaurants mean you can eat in without repeating the same menu, and a buffet breakfast is available at a surcharge on many rates, so compare prices with and without it.
An airport shuttle can be arranged on request for a fee, and free parking is a real saving. Only service animals are allowed. Check-in begins in the afternoon and check-out is at noon, and express check-in and check-out are offered.
Who it suits
Families who want an indoor pool and space, business travelers and conference guests, and first-time visitors who prefer a polished chain hotel with a spa and plenty of dining. Couples looking for a boutique or old-town atmosphere may prefer one of the smaller hotels in this guide. Book early around the main holiday periods, when large hotels in Amman fill quickly, and ask about higher floors for views over the city.
Making the most of a stay
Use the first morning to visit the Citadel and the Roman Theatre before the day heats up, spend the afternoon at the pool or the spa and keep the evening for Rainbow Street or the restaurants in the neighborhood. If you are heading to Petra, Wadi Rum or the Dead Sea, the free parking and the airport shuttle make the Marriott a practical starting point.
