The Fairmont Amman stands on Beirut Street at the Fifth Circle, in the Zahran district, the part of west Amman known for embassies, shopping and business. It is one of the city’s largest luxury hotels, with 316 individually decorated rooms and a long run of suites that includes Executive Suites, the Royal Amman Suite, the Presidential Suite, a Penthouse Suite and serviced one- and two-bedroom apartments, plus Family and Grand Family Suites. Seven on-site restaurants and two cafés mean you can eat in for several days without repeating yourself, and there is a poolside bar, a terrace and a garden. The Fairmont Spa offers massages, wraps and scrubs, and the health club runs yoga and fitness classes. The hotel carries Green Key sustainability certification and has a strong reputation for helpful staff and cleanliness, with very high guest review scores.
Location and getting around
The Fifth Circle is residential and diplomatic, with the Galleria Mall about a two-minute drive away and the Abdoun Bridge within a walk of roughly twenty minutes. It is not in the old center, so plan on taxis or ride-hailing for the Citadel, Downtown and Rainbow Street. The airport is about a forty-minute drive, and the hotel can arrange a shuttle on request for a fee, as well as a limo service. Free valet parking is a plus for those hiring a car.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have premium bedding, rainfall showers, large TVs, free Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service, and the top suites are generously sized. The outdoor pool and a children’s pool come with free cabanas and loungers, but the outdoor pool is closed seasonally from the start of November to the start of May, so ask what is open for your dates.
Breakfast is a buffet that is charged extra on many rates. Cribs and infant beds are free, supervised childcare is available for a fee, and pets are accepted with limits and a nightly charge.
Who it suits
Travelers who want a full-service, high-end hotel with plenty of dining, couples celebrating an occasion, families who will use the suites and the pool in warm months, and business guests. Compared with the Four Seasons it is larger and busier, and compared with W Amman it is calmer and farther from the new downtown. Choose it for service and facilities rather than for walkability. Free cancellation is available on select rates, so choose a flexible one when you can.
