AMMAN, Jordan
W Amman opened in Jordan. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with the iconic W sign, inspired by Amman's unique cityscape and cubic architecture, in the colors of Jordan's distinctive sunset.
The hotel's facade invokes the unique and colossal beauty of Petra's rock formations, reminiscent of the Nabatean city's striking appearance, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Throughout the Canyon Walk, guests are enveloped in a modern design, reinterpreting the natural beauty of Petra's canyon with shard structures and natural tones that can also be seen throughout the hotel.
Each of the 236 rooms and 44 suites at the hotel feature floor-to-ceiling windows and vivid designs, along with W signature beds and modern bathrooms with rain showers. The hotel has four of the brand’s WOW Suites and a 1,710-square-foot Extreme WOW Suite with sweeping views of the city, an in-room DJ deck, amplified entertainment system, and private jacuzzi.
The hotel's Living Room lobby showcases a fusion of intimate and open areas, low seating and mood-setting lighting among architectural features that mirror Amman's extraordinary cityscape. Elements of Bedouin weaving, flower pots, and locally designed pillows from the Jordan River Foundation (a non-profit focusing on child safety and community empowerment) provide modernized versions of common patterns, colors and shapes from the city. The space is complemented by modern art from Bahraini artist, Jamal A. Rahim that gives an edge of Middle Eastern influence and bright splashes of color alongside the work of Jordanian artist Bader Mahasneh, who utilizes rough surfaces and illuminated figures in a series of striking paintings of faces.
Just steps away from the Living Room, Mesh provides international cuisine with a Levantine touch. Aura offers signature beverages and delicious bar bites from around the world in a space that once again reinterprets the stunning angles and elevations of Petra with rose stone tones and colorful, silk-like flooring.
Aura, and other areas in the hotel also feature pieces of art work from Jordanian artist, Hazem Al Zoubi. Enso is the hotel's signature Pan-Asian restaurant.
The hotel also plays host to social and business gatherings across 8,400 square feet of meeting and event space, including the 6,800-square-foot Great Room and four fully equipped, stylish Strategy and Studio rooms.
The hotel is also home to The WET Deck, the rooftop pool space and AWAY Spa at W Amman, as well as modern FIT gym that features 24/7 access to the newest Technogym equipment.
