Petra Marriott Hotel

Marriott · Five-star resort hotel · Wadi Musa, on the ridge south of the park (a short drive from the gate)

Set high on the valley shoulder a few kilometres from the entrance, the Marriott trades gate-side immediacy for quiet, sweeping views over the Shara mountains. Recently refreshed rooms, several restaurants, a spa and a panoramic pool make it the calmer alternative for those willing to take the morning shuttle.
