Amman Rotana Hotel is a hotel in New Abdali in the district of Al-Abdali, Amman, Jordan. It is managed by Rotana Hotels. At 188 metres tall, it is ranked first on the list of tallest buildings in Amman as well as the tallest building in Jordan.

The hotel includes multiple dining facilities, including a buffet, Gusto Italian Restaurant, Bar on Four, The Lounge, The Deck Lounge, Pool Bar, and a VIP lounge on the 42nd floor, which is the top floor of the building before its crown.

The tower is glass-clad and has aluminum panels running vertically up the tower's height, extending outwards from between each glass panel, with the purpose of sun-breaking.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Amman Rotana” is hotel in Abdali, Jordan. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Amman, Rotana and hotel, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 125-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2016-07-01. For this dossier, Amman, Rotana and hotel is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “hotel in Abdali, Jordan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22948612. Authority coordinates are 31.965, 35.903. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
