Hayat Zaman Hotel And Resort Petra

Built as a village rather than a single block, Hayat Zaman Hotel & Resort spreads its 125 rooms across a cluster of stone houses linked by arches and vaulted passages near Petra. The design copies a late 19th-century Jordanian settlement, and the local stone walls keep interiors cool in summer and warm through winter. Rooms stay plain and practical: flat-screen TVs, direct-dial phones, free Wi-Fi, a laptop safe, and tea and coffee facilities are standard throughout. Bathrooms mix showers and tubs, and each room carries a desk and safe. The Junior Suite adds a sofa and minibar to the seating area, while the Royal Suite keeps the same layout at a larger scale. A single restaurant, Sahtain, serves the property, along with one conference room and hotel parking. Evenings sometimes bring themed events in the village square, weather allowing, with live music and traditional bread baked on site. It is a compact stay, built for travellers using Petra as their base rather than for long resort days. Laundry runs on request, at an extra charge. The layout rewards walking: guests move between houses on foot rather than corridors, tracing the same paths as the old village plan. Wi-Fi reaches every room, and a business room and lobby internet access cover work needs. The result is a hotel that reads more like a settlement than a tower, built low and wide into the Ma'an Governorate landscape.
