A ten minute taxi ride from Petra, this hotel is a super, five-star base from which to explore the region. The building takes the form of a castle, a fortress elevated to provide supreme Rift Valley views. Each of its 90 rooms and suites has a complimentary minibar, a balcony or terrace and an earthy palette that blends seamlessly with the surrounding terrain. A heated indoor swimming pool is flanked by pillars and the restaurant boasts a terrace with a gorgeous outlook.
