Booking Luxury Hotels and Resorts in Jordan

To secure the best rates and amenities at Jordan’s premier properties, book directly through the hotel’s website at least 60 days in advance. Use loyalty programs like Marriott Bonvoy or Kempinski Discovery to leverage member-only rates and guaranteed room upgrades.

  1. Choose your hubs. Limit your high-end stay to three core locations: Amman for the city experience, Petra for luxury access to the site, and the Dead Sea for resort relaxation. Booking a single luxury chain across these locations can sometimes earn you 'stay count' bonuses.
  2. Check direct vs. aggregator. Compare prices on Google Hotels, but always navigate to the official hotel website to book. Luxury properties in Jordan often provide 'Stay More, Save More' packages or inclusive spa credits that third-party booking sites (like Expedia) do not show.
  3. Email the concierge before arrival. Once booked, email the concierge directly. In Jordan, luxury service is highly personalized. Requesting specific room views (like a Wadi view in Petra) or pre-arranging private airport transfers via the hotel ensures a seamless experience.
  4. Use a Virtuoso travel advisor. If you are booking for 3+ nights, reach out to a Virtuoso-affiliated travel agent. They can often add value like free daily breakfast, $100 resort credit, and early check-in at properties like the St. Regis Amman or Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea.
Is it worth booking all-inclusive in Jordan?
Generally, no. Luxury hotels in Jordan (especially at the Dead Sea) are better enjoyed on a Bed & Breakfast basis so you can explore local restaurants for authentic Jordanian cuisine.
When is the most expensive time to book?
Late March and April are the most expensive times due to ideal weather. If you book for these months, try to finalize your reservation 4-5 months in advance.
