La Locanda

Top choice in Amman


A lovely themed boutique hotel, with each of the stylish rooms decorated to match an Arabic music icon, from Umm Kulthum to Fairuz. There's keen attention to detail throughout, with fine fabrics and slick modern bathrooms, and a relaxed, comfortable air. If you want to continue the musical theme, you can eat and drink at the hotel's Maestro bar.
