The Kempinski Ishtar is superb! We had a fabulous stay. Shout out to Omar (Night Manager) and Ivan (Ishtar Restaurant Manager) who went above and beyond - that’s saying a lot given the customer service levels exhibited by all Kempinski staff. Facilities, pools and restaurants were 5 star - food was delicious, especially the Rehan restaurant. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of Jordan. shukran maratan 'ukhraa wa'atyab altamaniyat

This stunning hotel exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable—warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. The location is unbeatable, with direct access to the Dead Sea and breathtaking views that shift with the light throughout the day. The amenities are top-tier. There are multiple pools to choose from, including an infinity pool overlooking the sea , all beautifully maintained. The spa is a most. This hotel is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty—ideal for both relaxation and indulgence. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
