For a brand that has perfected the art of luxury hospitality, travellers should look no further than the brand-new Ritz-Carlton Amman, setting the standard in elegance as a unique Middle Eastern destination for leisure and business guests. Home to over 200 guest rooms, a spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a wide range of dining venues, the Ritz-Carlton Amman Hotel offers guests unrivalled luxury.
Standing next to the hotel is The Residences, bringing Ritz-Carlton’s world-famous service to an exquisite residential community unlike any other in the region. Residents can enjoy luxury from the sanctuary of their private homes, with access to all the tower’s amenities, including a cinema, gaming room, indoor pool and fitness centre, and beauty salon.
The design of the two towers infuses the modern elegance of cosmopolitan Amman with inspiration from Jordan’s culture and design, adding a stunning addition to the backdrop of the city’s skyline and offering stunning scenic views of Amman.
The aim of the lighting design was to enhance the elegant interiors with sleek and sophisticated luminaires. Lighting designers MBLD specified Lucent Lighting’s premium solutions for the hotel and Residences, using a variety of fixtures including downlights, inground lights and wall lights throughout guest rooms, public spaces and F&B areas.
Guest rooms are complete with crisp white interiors, with discreet downlights subtly illuminating the walls and decadent décor for a clean overall finish. Opulent marble bathrooms are backlit with fresh white lighting for a rejuvenating experience.
Decadent dining is set with a warm glow to introduce an intimate ambience for diners overlooking the city lights. Sophisticated lighting layers the darker wooden décor and plush seating of the meeting and lounge rooms, while the bar is backlit with gold to illuminate the dazzling display of bottles.
Lucent MiniTRIM downlights enhance the elegance of The Residences, oozing luxury and opulence for residents of these premium homes. The lighting acts as a key part of the overall design, blending seamlessly into the interiors while the effect it creates can be seen. The layers of thoughtful lighting bring to life colours and textures, spotlighting patterned tiles and enriching the plush materials of the décor.
Rob Honeywill, Design Director at MBLD said: “Lucent Lighting’s range of luminaires perfectly complemented the lighting design we created to illuminate the extravagant interior design of the hotel and Residences. Each luminaire blended seamlessly into the overall design while meeting the distinct atmosphere and requirements for each space. The premium lighting solutions perfectly matched the aesthetic of this prestigious project, enhancing the guest experience and providing the quality expected by the Ritz-Carlton.”
