Mövenpick Hotel

Petra, Jordan

Stay Steps from the Ancient City of Petra

Rising directly opposite the main gate of Petra, Mövenpick Hotel Petra enjoys one of the most privileged locations in Jordan. From first light to dusk, the ever-changing hues of the surrounding mountains set a dramatic backdrop, while the hotel’s architecture mirrors the tones and textures of the ancient city beyond.

Interiors are calm and inviting, blending contemporary design with subtle Middle Eastern flourishes. Cool stone floors, arched details and richly coloured textiles create a sense of place without overpowering the experience. Courtyards offer quiet corners for reflection, while terraces provide a front-row seat to Petra’s daily rhythm, particularly magical as evening falls.

Dining is a highlight here. Local flavours and international favourites are served across a selection of atmospheric spaces, from relaxed indoor settings to open-air terraces scented with herbs and warm desert air. After a long day exploring tombs, temples and winding siqs, returning for a leisurely meal or a drink beneath the stars feels especially rewarding.

Thoughtful amenities add to the sense of ease. A serene pool area provides welcome relief from the desert heat, while attentive staff ensure each stay flows effortlessly, whether arranging early starts for sightseeing or recommending quieter moments to experience Petra at its most evocative.

For travellers seeking comfort, convenience and a genuine connection to one of the world’s great ancient sites, Mövenpick Hotel Petra delivers a stay that is both practical and deeply atmospheric.

Kim & Brad Balance

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.

Milford family

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

Elizabeth Mackintosh

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip.
