Le Royal Amman is a long-standing full-service hotel on Zahran Street near the Third Circle in Jabal Amman, the district of embassies, cinemas and cafés that links the old center with the newer west. It is a convenient base for first-time visitors: Zahran Palace is a ten-minute walk, Rainbow Street about seventeen minutes on foot and Abdali Mall about sixteen. The hotel has three restaurants, a coffee shop, a rooftop terrace, a poolside bar and a spa with massage and body treatments. There is an indoor pool, a children’s pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, and the hotel also has a nightclub, so ask about room locations. Wi-Fi is free in rooms and valet parking is free.
Location and getting around
The Third Circle is central, so taxis to the Citadel, Downtown and the Roman Theatre are short and cheap. Walking to Rainbow Street is possible but uphill in places. The airport is a long drive away, so arrange a transfer in advance, and the front desk is the place to ask about day-trip drivers for Jerash, Madaba and the Dead Sea.
Rooms and facilities
Expect classic five-star rooms and a large public area, with a range of food options in the building, which is handy after a day of sightseeing. The indoor pool is available year-round, while the outdoor pool is open in the warm months, roughly July to September. Breakfast is a buffet served in the morning for an extra charge rather than being included, so compare rates with and without it.
Who it suits
Travelers who want a big, traditional hotel with plenty of dining and a spa at a mid-range luxury rate, families who value the indoor and children’s pools, and groups. Good to know: because the hotel has a nightclub, request a room away from the lower floors if you prefer a quiet night. It trades the boutique feel of The House and the views of the Abdoun hotels for convenience, facilities and value in a central location.
