Hotel Overview

Idyllic Dead Sea location

The Kempinski Hotel Ishtar is in a postcard-perfect setting in the Jordan Valley. It sits on the shores of the lowest point on earth, the famous Dead Sea. Set on the longest beach in Jordan, this five-star hotel is perfectly placed to spend your days soaking up the sun and your evenings strolling along the shores. Take in the ancient olive trees, towering bamboo palms and glimmering water each time you step out of the hotel. You’ll feel like you’re on a movie set in this exclusive setting.
