    The Kempinski Hotel Ishtar gives you the opportunity to enjoy its riches where Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra once strived to unravel mystery. Situated gracefully on the shores of the largest spa in the world the Dead Sea, unique for its ozone-rich air, mineral sea water and ultra-violet filtered sunshine. Surely there is no region on earth where nature and history have more wonderfully conspired, where so exciting drama has obtained a so beautiful theatre.

    Lovely but very expensive when you get there
    We went there as part of a trip organised for us by Trailfinders. We had done a few days in Jordan and wanted a final stop at the Dead Sea for some R&R. The Kempinski is a very luxurious hotel. The staff we met were all lovely, and very welcoming and helpful. The hotel was…

    Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea
    Bring your ear plugs. This is a massive 5 star hotel/resort with multiple pools and dining options and two spots for entering the Dead Sea. We went in January when the weather was cool, but warm enough to go in the Dead Sea. The staff are very friendly. The food is great. The…

    Most luxurious spa experience.
    My friends who are Jordanian highly recommended the Ishtar spa and it exceeded our expectations. It was the most luxurious spa experience - starting from welcome tea and dried apricot and experiencing the amazing whirlpools (never had one that can massage your entire body) with…

    hello, have you got quiet ground floor rooms overlooking the sea with easy access shower for handicapped? and can we get a taxi to jerusalem and back in the day? thank you
    Too far to travel in a day, if you look at a map and if you were the other side of the Dead Sea, you could do it easily in a day, but you need to go around the Sea and over a border to get there.

    Does it have a private sweet with a private pool?
    The Suites are large...... suggest you select one in the 1500 number range......and there are NINE individual private pools with the Hotel complex. The end result is with nine pools, there is no overcrowding...... exactly the opposite. However, Ivan the guest relations manager will only be too pleased to advise you. This is a highly unusual property and you will be impressed.

    I am looking for a room with a sea view without the wooden lattice on the window. It looks like it blocks the view in many rooms. What rooms have balconies with uninterrupted views of the dead sea?
    if I remember rightly only the main building has open views to the Dead Sea. They have indeed enclosed terraces but you can open the front of the partition en 2 parts.
