The 192-room hotel opened in December 2002, and the hotel was inspired by Jordan’s rich history and heritage, creating a landmark building that leaves a memorable impression. The columns running the full height of the hotel’s storey façade are a strong reference to Jordan’s Roman past. This reference echoes throughout the interior of the building as well, where marble and polished plaster pilasters and arches in natural colours divide corridors and public areas to create smaller, more intimate areas.

Outside, the detailing of corners, openings and windows are traditionally Jordanian whilst inside, the marbled, tiled or carpeted floors echo the mosaic borders and patterns for which this region is famous. The main feature of the double-height entrance hall is the huge circular glass-topped table which supports magnificent arrangements of flowers, which alter the colours and mood of the entrance hall as they are changed each week.

The 192 guest rooms and suites of the hotel have the feel and ambiance of a large villa. With the smallest rooms being 45 square metres, the hotel bedrooms are the most spacious in the city. The generous picture windows provide fabulous views across the bustling city, and are framed by curtains in golden tones of satin and organza and heavy satin. The dark wood furniture follows the modern art deco theme used elsewhere in the hotel. In each room a high, deep wing armchair and the ottoman stand beside a circular open-structured side table in brushed chrome and glass. The beds ensure guests enjoy a plush and restful sleep.

At the centre of Four Seasons Hotel Amman’s business, conference and banquet facilities lies the city’s grandest ballroom. At 1,100 square metres with a 5.7 metre high ceiling the granite and marble room offers state-ofthe- art audio-visual and lighting systems, supported by on-site technicians. On the fifth floor, with direct access from all levels, three luxuriously appointed boardrooms offer views out over Amman that are unrivalled in any other ‘workplace’ in the city.
