Interior project by Wimberly Interiors.
Recently opened, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Amman- a crystallization of style and class – is taking the world of hospitality by storm, adding a new design feature to the city’s architectural scene and urban skyline. Standing tall, bold and magnificent, the latest addition to Amman’s vibrant and throbbing hearth is destined to be the most iconic fixture in the capital.
The design is inspired by the terrain of Jordan and deeply rooted in history also connected to the newly branded Marriott International. Designed by WATG, this classic architecture conveys a sense of grandeur and stature, its formal yet relaxed expression is inspired by rose-toned stones and Jordan’s landscape.
A juxtaposition of simplicity and new sense of luxury, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, pays a tribute to Jordan’s cultural history in every detail from its awe-inspiring exterior to its classically adorned interiors. Introducing traditional design features and innovative materials, finishes drawn from the landscape of Jordan, and contemporary color palettes inspired by the country’s natural terrain, The Residences are the embodiment of architectural perfection and distinction.

Entering the lobby of The Residences instantly evokes the sense of classical perfection, magnificence, and simplicity. Formal and sophisticated, yet relaxing and welcoming, the lobby boasts an abundance of natural light and genuine European white marble floors with intricate patterns that reflect a contrast of color and tone, as well as elegantly garnished brass separators. Neutral surfaces at the lobby are enveloped by bespoke modern fixtures and furniture, most striking of which are the classic crystal chandeliers illuminating the reception.
Classically proportioned in form and detail, the design is luxurious and elegant expressed through historical elements. Formal gardens, colonnades and terraces stand out with a sense of grandeur and stature.
Luxurious stone, polished metals, natural wood flooring in a rich palette of tones, patterns and textures shape this architectural object that frames the views, and shade in simple trellises and screens create a timeless statement of style. Geometric detailing and masses broken in a series of layered blocks break up the volume into a series of elements, executed in a way that makes the hotel regionally inspired and a landmark in Amman.
