DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Aqaba is on Al-Hammamat Al-Tunisyya Street in Aqaba, a reliable mid-range choice for travellers who want a familiar brand and a straightforward stay. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a spa, plus an on-site restaurant and room service, and a kids menu is available. Parking, both self-parking and valet, is complimentary, and there is EV charging on site. Connecting rooms are available for families, and pets are allowed with a fee, which is unusual in the region.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Aqaba, a short taxi from the waterfront, the fort and the main restaurants. The hotel's pages state that airport shuttles are not available to either King Hussein International Airport or Queen Alia, so arrange a taxi or private transfer in advance. For day trips to Wadi Rum or Petra, ask the front desk to help with a driver, or book a tour with hotel pickup.
Rooms and who it suits
Rooms follow the brand's modern, comfortable style, with connecting rooms for families and smoking rooms available on request. The hotel suits couples, small families and independent travellers who value reliable beds, quiet rooms and easy parking over a beach on the doorstep. It also fits business travellers and groups. Because there is no beach, plan your reef days around a boat trip or South Beach, which are a drive south.
Good to know
A buffet breakfast is available for a fee, so compare it with local cafes if you like to eat out. Check-in is at 3 pm and check-out at noon, and early arrivals can usually leave luggage. The pool is outdoors, so check seasonal availability. For pets, a fee and weight limit apply, so read the policy.
Overall it is a good middle option between the resorts and the budget hotels, with Hilton Honors benefits for members. Ask at booking about quiet rooms away from the road, and confirm any seasonal pool hours so your plans for a swim after a long desert day are not a surprise.
