The hype
Travelers love the helpful staff and the 'new hotel smell' in the lobby, but opinions on room modernity are mixed.
Signia by Hilton Aman
$130-220/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the reliability of a brand-new Hilton flagship with a surprising entertainment twist in the heart of the business district.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- The 'Strikers' entertainment center (bowling & booze) is a rare find inside a luxury hotel
- Club Signia lounge offers excellent value with all-day refreshments and happy hour
- Located in Shmeisani, it's a quiet, safe base that's still a cheap Uber ride to downtown
Brzi pregled: It's the old Kempinski with a fresh Hilton coat of paint—solid bones and great service, but some corners still feel like 2010.
Pregledano od @LisamarieV: I was blown away by how peaceful this place felt despite being right in Amman. Taking that glass elevator up to my room was such a cool experience, and the city views from the bed made it hard to leave. Definitely the spot for a modern, upscale recharge.

Reality check
The air conditioning vents in some rooms are positioned directly over the bed, blasting cold air on your face while you sleep.
- You are a Hilton Honors member chasing status (it's the first Signia outside the US)
- You need a business hotel that isn't boring (bowling, sports bar, pool deck)
- You appreciate a high-security, quiet neighborhood over the chaos of the Old City

Pre nego što rezervirate
Korisno znati

- Security is tight (bag scanners at entry), which is standard for top Amman hotels but can add time
- Breakfast is sometimes a set menu during Ramadan or low occupancy, rather than the full buffet
Šta pakovati
- Swimsuit for the outdoor pool (summer only) or spa jacuzzi
- Earplugs if you end up in a room with a loud AC unit
- Modest clothing for walking around the city (shoulders and knees covered)

“I would love a renovated room on a high floor, specifically away from the Strikers bowling alley noise. If possible, a room where the AC vent does not blow directly onto the pillows would be appreciated.”
Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is there an indoor pool?
No. There is a seasonal outdoor pool and a spa with a jacuzzi/whirlpool, but no full-sized indoor swimming pool.
Is the hotel brand new?
Sort of. It opened as a Signia in Jan/Feb 2025, but it is a rebrand of the former Kempinski Hotel. Most areas are renovated, but the building itself is older.
How far is it from Petra?
Petra is a 3-hour drive south. It's a day trip, but a long one. Most people stay overnight in Wadi Musa.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
Yes, there are multiple bars including the Luna Bar, 962 Bar, and the bowling alley bar.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. If not, the buffet costs around 10-15 JOD (~$14-21 USD), which is reasonable for this tier.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Yes, Shmeisani has plenty of local eateries, fast food, and cafes within a 5-10 minute walk, though it's not as 'touristy' as Rainbow Street.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The 'Strikers' bowling alley has a happy hour—great for a cheap beer and a game before dinner.
- ✨
Ask the concierge for 'Zalatimo Sweets' nearby if you want to buy authentic baklava gifts without the tourist markup.
- ✨
The Club Signia lounge on the upper floors has a killer view of the city—worth the upgrade price for the sunset alone.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The bowling alley isn't just a gimmick; it's a legitimate 8-lane center that locals actually use.
💡The 'renovation' didn't fix the room layouts, so bathrooms can feel surprisingly tight for a luxury hotel.
💡You might encounter a 'Yemeni wedding' or local event in the ballroom, which is great for culture but bad for lobby traffic.
💡The in-room TVs are smart TVs, a nice upgrade from the old hotel's system.
💡Valet parking is free, which is a huge perk in car-heavy Amman.
