W Amman is the livelier of the city’s luxury hotels, set on Rafiq Al Hariri Avenue in the Al Abdali district, the new downtown of glass towers, a boulevard of cafés and shops, and the blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque. It has 229 guest rooms and 50 suites, most with floor-to-ceiling views of the city. Dining runs from MESH, the all-day breakfast and buffet restaurant with live cooking stations, to ENSO, a two-floor pan-Asian restaurant, and the Living Room lobby bar. The WET Deck is a seasonal rooftop bar with panoramic views and DJ sets, and AWAY Spa offers massages and facials using Dead Sea products, with a steam room, jacuzzi and couples suite. A fitness center rounds out the facilities.
Location and getting around
Abdali Boulevard is a minute away on foot, Abdali Mall about seven minutes and the King Abdullah I Mosque around thirteen minutes. Downtown, the Citadel and Rainbow Street are a short taxi ride, and the airport is a drive of roughly three-quarters of an hour. The hotel says there is no shuttle, but private car service can be arranged, and valet parking is complimentary.
Rooms and facilities
Expect modern, high-ceilinged rooms with city views and a social, music-led feel in the public spaces. The outdoor pool and the WET Deck are seasonal, and the pool is described as open roughly from May to September, so outside those months you will mainly use the spa, the restaurants and the gym. The AURA sports venue also closes seasonally. Breakfast is not included in the standard rate and is charged separately, so compare rates with and without it.
Who it suits
Travelers who want to walk to cafés and shops in the evening, couples and friends who enjoy a lively bar scene, and anyone who prefers a central hotel to the quiet Abdoun hills. It is pet-friendly, with fees, and holds a Green Key eco-certification. If you want quiet, ask for a higher floor away from the rooftop bar.
