The Movenpick
Resort Petra
This is the closest hotel to the entrance
of the park, and its newer five star sister hotel on the nearby mountainside.
You will probably be spending a lot
of time at the Movenpick even if you aren't staying here because they
have the best restaurants and bar in town. They also have great, clean
and safe facilities, and top of the line five star rooms.
Restaurants and bars inside include
Al-Iwan Mediterranean cuisine (pricey and well-dressed), the Al-Ghadeer
Roof Garden - which is only open during summer but is a great place
to sit on the roof and have some snacks and a cocktail while watching
the sunset, and the Al-Magaad Bar in its splendid Arabian Nights setting.
They also have a great ice cream at
their store, serving the well known Movenpick desserts.
For those wanting a better view, you
might consider staying at the somewhat farther away and yet hillside
isolated paradise of Moevenpick
Nabatean Castle Hotel.
For those sleeping in their wonderful
beds, expect to pay around US$160-$250 a night.
