Five Star Hotels
Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort and Spa
The Crowne Plaza holds the largest room count on the Jordanian shore, 420 rooms and suites, which makes it the most practical choice for large groups, corporate events, and weddings. The event infrastructure here exceeds anything else in Sweimeh: ballroom space, meeting rooms, catering at scale. As a resort stay it’s full five-star and waterfront; as a conference venue it’s genuinely competitive with Amman properties.
Hilton Dead Sea Resort and Spa
The Hilton Dead Sea is built around a central pool complex with two infinity pools facing the water. At 262 rooms it’s large enough to feel like a resort without losing the five-star finish. It works equally well as a leisure property and a business destination, the conference and events infrastructure is substantive. On the Jordanian shore, it holds its position alongside the Kempinski as one of the two standard-setting luxury addresses.

Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea
The Kempinski Ishtar is Jordan’s largest five-star Dead Sea property, with 345 rooms built across terraced gardens that descend toward the water. The scale works in its favor, private beach, multiple pools, serious spa facilities, multiple dining venues, without producing the impersonal feel that scale sometimes generates. It’s the most architecturally distinctive hotel on this stretch of shoreline.
