The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott International’s brands, made its debut in Jordan with the opening of Al Manara, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Saraya Aqaba.
Developed by Eagle Hills Jordan, the 207-room hotel is located in the heart of Aqaba’s newest beachside destination, Saraya Aqaba and a 90-minute driving distance from Petra. The rooms include including 43 suites and two villas, feature inviting balconies and floor to ceiling windows with views of the Red Sea and mountain ranges.
“The Luxury Collection global brand leader Anthony Ingham said, ““The Luxury Collection is thrilled to continue its rapid, global expansion with the opening of Al Manara, the brand’s first hotel in Jordan.”
“As a culturally rich Jordanian port city, the destination is a perfect gateway for discerning travellers to experience this part of the Middle East through the lens of The Luxury Collection. We are always looking for new and uncharted areas of the world to explore and share with our experienced travellers. The opening of Al Manara is yet another example of the brand’s commitment to delivering authentic travel experiences to our guests,” he added.
The hotel’s main dining venue is Taybeh Al Manara which serves northern Mediterranean cuisine and specialties at live cooking stations as well as an a la carte service. Kubba Levantin is another F&B venue which is a casually Middle Eastern restaurant. Al Manara’s waterfront bar and restaurant Amwaj will feature seafood directly from the Red Sea.
The property is the second collaboration between Marriott International and Eagle Hills Jordan with the first being W Amman which opened earlier this year in the capital.
An additional two hotel collaborations will follow with the slated opening of The St. Regis Amman and The Westin Saraya Aqaba in the coming months, a statement from Marriott revealed.
