I am interested that the reviews for the Le Meridien are somewhat mixed. I have stayed in a number of different "5 Star" hotels in Amman (linked with either Starwood/Sheraton, or Priority Club, and found Le Meridien to be one of the better offers.
Amman is a compact but disorienting city built on a number of hills and valleys, and the Le Meridien is very central in trendy SShmeisani, midway between the old Downtown city centre (for tourist sites such as the Citidel, Souq, Roman Theatre, etc, and the more upmarket business and diplomatic quarters around Umm Uthaynah Al Sharqi. If you want a hotel that is closer to the old city, choose the Intercontinental, Hyatt or Le Royal. If you are more interested in the diplomatic quarter, aim for the Sheraton, or Four Seasons.

Le Meridien has one of the more attractive and spacious lobbies for an Amman hotel, with plenty of comfortable seating and areas for meeting guests. The interior public spaces of the hotel are large and spread out, with a large outdoor pool area, altough it was winter while I was there. There is also a large gym and spa with indoor pool attached to the hotel, although this may require a seperate entry charge, I am not sure. The hotel has 5 restaurants - Lebanese, Chinese, Steakhouse, Japanese (sushi/teppanyaki) and the standard Brasserie where breakfast is served. There is also a Starbucks Coffee in the hotel, although this is managed seperately and you can't bill it back to your room. I thought that the breakfast buffet had a good selection. Like all Middle Eastern restaurants, always ask for non-smoking if you prefer it, as the default is toward people smoking in all public spaces.

I am a Starwood Gold member, and was automatically upgraded to a 1bedroom Guest Suite with seperate lounge, which was very extremelyh tastefully and comfortably decorated. I am familiar with the annoying situation in the Middle East where the air conditioning circulates cigarette smoke air into non-smoking rooms, but did not find this at all in my room. there were two seperate air conditioning controls - one for the bedroom and one for the lounge, which I appreciated as I hate to sleep with aircon turned on as it drys me out. Wired broadband was 15 JD per 24 hours and you could then access wireless in public spaces and restaurants as well. I assume that the hotel has a Club Lounge but I didn't see or use it.

Reception staff and concierge staff were very helpful, and when I telephoned Guest relations on a couple of occassions for an iron and ironing board (not included in the room, but in the Middle East they usually aren't) and to check a door lock, they came extremely promptly, and also were followed up by a phone call from Guest Relations checking that they had been. whether this was because of my elite status I do not know.

Hotel cars are relatively expensive, (4 JD to most inner city areas and 10JD per hour waiting time) but yellow taxis outside are plentiful and cheaper. 1.5- 2.0 JD into the centre of town, 17JD to the airport.
All in all, I would fully recommend the Le Meridien, particularly as a business hotel and will certainly return there.
