Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea

This leisure-focused, over-the-top hotel beside the Dead Sea boasts the largest spa in the Middle East and the finest accommodations in this part of the country. Babylonian-style architecture is maintained throughout the public areas, but guest rooms revert to more contemporary decor. Guestrooms in the main building are convenient, but the Ishtar rooms in the resort area are preferred for their privacy within the pool- and waterfall-dotted grounds. Royal Villas are perfect for families with their beachfront locale and more spacious accommodations. They boast luxuries like private steam rooms, saunas, dual living rooms, and loaner laptops for plugged-in guests.
