Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea

The five-star Kempinski Ishtar Resort Hotel and Spa might be next to the lowest dry land place on the earth, but a stay is sure to be a highlight. Welcome to Babylonian luxury next to The Dead Sea. The stunning design of the hotel is inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, in keeping with its Dead Sea setting. Here, you can swim and float in the naturally therapeutic waters. Swim at the hotel too, with nine pools including an incredible infinity pool, an adults-only pool and a kid’ pool. There is also a lazy river, to complete the wide range of floating options. Explore nearby locations and find sites of historical and biblical importance, including the site of Jesus’ baptism, Mount Nebo, and the city of Petra, a UNESCO world heritage site. After a day’s exploring, enjoy being pampered at the hotel’s award-winning spa, one of the largest in the region, with treatments and massages.Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, a whirlpool, Dead Sea pools, a sauna, a steam room, a hydro-pool and a hammam. The hotel has five great restaurants and bars. Including Rehan, where the food is prepared in accordance with the rich history of Lebanese cuisine, while Akkad Pool and Grill serves delicious food and signature cocktails next to the incredible infinity pool. You can also enjoy Obelisk’s international buffet or an indulgent drink to accompany a fresh cake or pastry, and perhaps something a bit naughtier as the sun sets at Sumerian Terrace, while Blu serves outstanding Mediterranean dishes all set to a backdrop of panoramic views of the Dead Sea. Alternatively, dining can be enjoyed in guest rooms and suites, still accompanied by those stunning views. There is plenty for all appetites, big or small, and plenty more to bring your Dead Sea adventure alive.
