1312 at Hilton Dead Sea: menu, mood, and booking

Overview

By DeadSea.com Editorial Team

1312 is the Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa’s contemporary Lebanese resto-lounge. Choose it when dinner, drinks, music, and lounge time should happen in one place; choose a quieter restaurant when conversation matters more than the evening program. The current menu starts at JOD 4.500 for lentil soup, before the published 7 percent sales tax and 7 percent service charge.

The Hilton Dead Sea hotel profile covers the wider resort. A table at 1312 does not automatically include beach, pool, spa, or other hotel access.

1312 works best as a planned evening venue, not an improvised meal stop; the current menu publishes JOD prices plus 7 percent sales tax and 7 percent service charge, while the nightly music, seating, shisha areas, outside guest access, and last seating still need direct confirmation for your date.

Quick decision

What the current menu tells you

The menu supports the restaurant’s Lebanese identity more clearly than a generic label would. Current cold mezze include mutabbal at JOD 5.000, beetroot mutabbal at JOD 5.250, vine leaves at JOD 6.250, and muhammara at JOD 6.250. Hot mezze and larger dishes extend the choice, but availability and prices can change.

Those examples are useful for planning a shared opening round, not for promising a final order. Ask what is available when seated, especially if one dish is the reason for choosing the restaurant. The Jordanian food guide can help distinguish Lebanese mezze from Jordanian dishes without treating the two cuisines as interchangeable.

The published bill terms matter. Hilton states that menu prices are subject to 7 percent sales tax and 7 percent service charge. Ask whether any other charge, entertainment minimum, special menu, or event condition applies that evening. The Jordan trip cost guide helps place the complete meal within the day’s budget.

A JOD 6.250 menu item is not a JOD 6.250 final bill at 1312. Hilton currently adds 7 percent sales tax and 7 percent service charge to the published prices, so compare restaurants using the inclusive total and ask about any event minimum before reserving.

The lounge format is the real choice

Hilton presents 1312 as more than a dining room. Music, Lebanese wine, beverages, and shisha are part of the concept, which can make the venue a useful answer to the question of what to do after sunset. The Dead Sea at night guide explains why a reserved meal inside the resort area is often easier than searching for a separate nightlife district.

That same format is the main drawback for some diners. Music volume, an event, or nearby shisha can change the feel of the meal. State your preference when booking. Ask for the quietest available table if conversation is the priority, and ask which areas permit shisha if smoke exposure matters.

There is no signed, dated DeadSea.com inspection of the sound level or table spacing. Treat the restaurant’s concept as confirmed and the exact atmosphere as date-specific. This is a conditional editorial choice, not a first-person restaurant review.

Access for guests and outside diners

1312 is inside Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa on Dead Sea Road in the Sweimeh hotel area. The property telephone is +962 5 349 3000. Ask for 1312 by name and confirm the reservation date, time, party size, and telephone number on the booking.

Travelers who are not staying at Hilton should obtain a clear answer about the property gate, parking, identification, and permitted arrival time. A restaurant reservation is not proof of wider resort access. The Jordan day pass guide keeps dining, beach, pool, and spa products separate.

The restaurant’s fixed daily hours were not available in the current operator material reviewed for this page. Do not infer them from the hotel opening or an old directory. Confirm opening, last seating, kitchen close, and any private event before leaving another property.

Dietary needs and group planning

Lebanese sharing dishes can make a group meal easy, but a familiar dish name does not establish its exact ingredients. Tell the restaurant about allergies and restrictions before ordering. Ask about sesame, nuts, dairy, gluten, meat stock, alcohol in sauces, and shared preparation where relevant.

For a mixed group, decide whether the lounge setting is a benefit or a compromise. The Jordan family guide is useful if the dinner must fit children’s sleep and transport. The Jordan couples guide helps place a dinner reservation within a sunset or spa day without making the evening too complicated.

Compare 1312 with nearby alternatives

Choose Rehan Lebanese Cuisine when a dedicated Lebanese dinner at Kempinski and a published 18:00 to 23:00 schedule suit the plan. Choose Burj Al Hamam for Lebanese and Mediterranean dining at Crowne Plaza, with current service published from 13:00 to 23:00.

Choose Oak Tree Kitchen when Jordanian and Arabic food is more important than the lounge. Choose Spectrum at Hilton when a broad buffet at the same property better fits mixed preferences.

The Jordan Dead Sea restaurant guide puts these venues into one country-specific inventory. Compare cuisine, format, access, inclusive cost, and timing. A ranking based only on hotel category or old ratings will not answer those questions.

Reservation checklist

Ask Hilton to confirm:

• the date, opening time, last seating, and kitchen close;
• the current menu and any set menu or minimum spend;
• taxes, service, and the complete expected bill;
• music or event program and the quietest seating option;
• shisha availability and permitted areas;
• outside guest access, identification, parking, and arrival point;
• dietary support and shared-kitchen limitations;
• cancellation terms and a direct contact for changes.

Save the reply with the reservation. The Jordan practical tips guide can carry the telephone, payment, and transport details into the rest of the trip.
