There are a host of excellent quality hotels throughout The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan including top International brand names such as Marriott, Kempinski, Movenpick, Radisson SAS and Inter-Continental, as well as local brands -Le Royal, Hyatt Amman, Amrah Hotel and others- most of them situated in the capital, Amman.

The quality standards in almost all the 5 star hotel, international and local, is high, and this is obvious in the service, the room aesthetic, the food, the variety of facilities and entertainment areas inside the hotels.  In the hotels of Amman you can find famous chefs of international cuisine, music halls, live bands performances, movie theaters and some of the most active dance rooms of the capital. All of them in very logical prices for such services, that start from 95$/per night,

Four stars hotels is a good choice, as most of them try to compete the 5 stars rivals, offering very good services in lower prices, that starts from 60$/per night. Four star hotels include Amman West Hotel, Days Inn, Amman Cham Palace, Imperial Palace, most of them situated in the center of Amman.

However, you can find some satisfying economy hotels in the central area of Amman, Shmeisani, with prices that start as low as 30$/per night. The services there are typical and include breaksfast and room service. A simple solution for those who just want a bed for the night.

Now, what happens if you have a big family or you want to stay in the area for many days? The answer is: rent an appartment. Its cheaper, feels like your home, fully furnished and with staying choices in a variety of places, busy or quiet. Your choice!  Prefer rented appartments in areas of Amman like Al Gardens, Al Rabia and Shmeisani, because they are near to the happenings and the lights of the city. Prices for a furnished appartment ranges from 20$ or 15euros  per day. You can achieve a better price if you rent the appartment for the whole month and ofcourse you have to pay the amount in advance.
