InterContinental AMMAN JORDAN, an IHG Hotel

Sobia A5 months ago

The two words that would describe Intercontinental Amman aptly are Elegant and Beautiful. What an absolutely delightful hotel! |The check in/check out was smooth and hassle free. The lobby, by the way, is so beautiful. There are gorgeous ceramic art pieces decorating walls all around this huge lobby. A beautiful baby grand was sitting on one side and I hoped someone would be playing it each time I walked in or out of the lobby. |The staff here were so professional and attentive. |Our concierge was extremely efficient and confirmed our tour/car/driver arrangements at the check in. We opted to include the Intercontinental Lounge in our package which was a brilliant decision in hindsight. It’s a lovely and elegantly decorated space with a most courteous wait staff, beautiful buffet of freshly prepared food that was beautifully presented throughout the day. |You can order through an additional menu as well. My husband utilized the menu for hot main items for breakfast and supper and enjoyed it a lot. |Our room was spacious with modern and sleek built in bureau and desk. I appreciated the high ceilings and large windows. The complimentary toiletries, plush robes, quality coffee maker, assortment of teas and an electric kettle, and a locker in the wardrobe were standard amenities. |I appreciated a sweet treat of local desserts and fruit along with free drinks sent to our room when there was a misunderstanding regarding our lounge access. It was rectified immediately in an efficient manner. |I tried out room service after a long day out and was quite happy with the prompt service, beautiful presentation and deliciously prepared food. |We had the hotel arrange for our sightseeing trips too. |The concierge gave us good advice regarding our day trip to Petra and provided us with a most agreeable driver and a luxury car which made our drive to and from Petra an absolute delight. |The hotel is situated in a quiet and high end part of town and we felt very comfortable walking around to explore the area. |We opted to walk around one night to stretch our legs and found a popular restaurant, Al Siran, that offered authentic local fare. I enjoyed the experience of dining with the locals and appreciated the proximity to our hotel as well. |We did not have the time in our short trip, unfortunately, to try out the beautiful restaurants in the hotel or the Spa that looked extremely nice, but I sure hope to go back again soon for an extended stay. |We had the hotel arrange for our drive back to the airport as well and they took care of everything efficiently. |All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this elegant hotel and I highly recommend it for its location, comfortable rooms, quality amenities, most efficient staff, and excellent service. I look forward to going back one day soon.
