The Ritz-Carlton, Amman

What the classifiers highlight

On Amman's Fifth Circle, a sandstone tower in art deco style holds 228 rooms starting at 646 square feet, carpets patterned like shifting sand, blue accents recalling the Dead Sea. On the 20th floor, Roberto's serves gnocchi finished tableside with liquid nitrogen pesto. Rainbow Street's cafes sit within walking distance, Forbes notes.
