Our notes
The classic Amman address
Four Seasons Hotel Amman stands on a hilltop just off the Fifth Circle in Jabal Amman, one of the city's smart residential and business districts, and its white tower rises well above the low cream-stone city around it - so the higher rooms look out across Amman's hills. It has long been the city's reference grand hotel: a marble lobby with big flower displays, a range of restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool with a sun terrace and an indoor pool in the spa.
Rooms are generous and quiet, in pale tones with views over the city, and the suites add four-poster beds and balconies. Downtown, with the Roman Theatre and the Citadel, is about fifteen minutes away by taxi, and the hotel makes a comfortable base for day trips out of the city - Jerash to the north, the Dead Sea to the west. This is the kind of hotel whose prices fall a long way outside the busy spring and autumn months, which is when to watch the rates.
The photographs of the Roman Theatre, Citadel Hill and the King Abdullah I Mosque at the end of the gallery show the city, not the hotel.
The area
Amman is built across a cluster of hills - originally seven, now more than twenty - and its cream-coloured limestone houses stack up the slopes so that the whole city seems to be one colour. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on earth: the Ammonites made it their capital, the Romans rebuilt it as Philadelphia, and the city only grew into a capital again in the 1920s, which is why ancient ruins sit between modern districts rather than in a preserved old town.
Start on Citadel Hill, the Jabal al-Qal'a, with the columns of the Roman Temple of Hercules, an Umayyad palace and the best view in the city down onto the old centre. Below it the Roman Theatre, cut into the hillside in the second century and seating about 6,000, is still used for concerts. Downtown - Al-Balad - is the busy heart of the old city, with its souks, spice shops and street food; the falafel and hummus at Hashem are an institution. For the modern city, Rainbow Street in Jabal Amman has cafés, rooftop bars and craft shops, and the King Abdullah I Mosque, with its blue mosaic dome, is open to visitors outside prayer times.
Amman is also the base for the rest of the country. Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities anywhere, is under an hour north; the Dead Sea is about an hour west, 400 metres below sea level; and Petra and Wadi Rum are a long day's drive south, better done with a night or two away. The best months are March to May and October to November - summer is hot and dry, and winter in the hills can be cold and even snowy.
