Basking in the desert sun, lying on an expansive property along the Dead Sea shoreline, the Ishtar is impressive to say the least. Built entirely of local stone, tiles and mosaic and based on a design of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, this project may at first seem a little excessive. However, upon closer inspection, you will find the hotel to be tasteful, elegant and the service second to none.
Following a soft opening a few months ago that allowed guests the opportunity to stay in the chalets but not the main hotel, the Kempinski Ishtar has now officially swung its doors open to a well-heeled clientele. With a total of three-hundred-and-eighteen rooms and suites, nine restaurants and bars, as well as a movie theatre and bowling centre, the pièce de résistance is, by and large, the Anantara Spa which is actually one of the world’s largest.
If you want to experience this hotel at its finest then definitely go for one of the two Ishtar Royal Villas which are three-bedroom extravaganzas with a private infinity edge pool, personal chauffeur and a butler to attend to your every whim and fancy. With the self-proclaimed longest private beach in Jordan, the hotel’s attention to detail even finds them providing iPods upon request. No matter what room you go for, the serenity of the premises with its dotted lagoons, waterfalls and private pools makes this resort an ideal getaway.
Having been named after the Ancient Sumerian Goddess of love, the resort easily proves the age old notion that what is done with love is done to perfection.
