Visiting Petra is not just another sightseeing stop — it’s a full-body workout, a history lesson, and a jaw-dropping experience all rolled into one. After years of organizing trips across Jordan and personally inspecting hotels for our guests, we can confidently say this:
If you want the best location, fair pricing, genuine hospitality, and zero daily logistics stress, Petra Palace Hotel is one of the smartest hotels you can book in Petra.
And no — this is not a paid review. This is what happens when professionals actually stay where they recommend others to stay.
Location, Location… and Yes, Location Again
Let’s start with the most important factor in Petra: distance.
Petra Palace Hotel is located around 200 meters from the Petra Visitor Centre and main entrance. That means:
No taxis
No early-morning stress
No excuses for missing the Treasury at sunrise
You simply walk out of the hotel and into one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. When you return exhausted, dusty, and questioning your leg day choices—you’re already “home”.
Add to that its position in Wadi Musa town, with restaurants, cafés, banks, exchange offices, and shops all within walking distance, and you realize how much time (and money) this location saves.
Petra Palace Hotel is family-owned and operated, and this shows in the best possible way.
Instead of scripted smiles and robotic check-ins, you get:
Real conversations, Helpful advice about Petra timings and Staff who actually care if you enjoyed your day.
For travelers who value authentic Jordanian hospitality, this is a major advantage over large chain hotels.
After walking 10–15 km inside Petra, luxury means one thing: comfort.
The rooms are: Spacious and air-conditioned, Equipped with satellite TV, minibar, safe box, and private bathrooms and Cleaned daily with consistent housekeeping standards !
Many rooms overlook the swimming pools, which is a surprisingly motivating sight when your legs are negotiating whether stairs are a good idea or not.
The hotel offers a large number of rooms, including family and group-friendly options, making it suitable for couples, families, and organized tours alike.
Petra Palace Hotel understands something very important:
Petra is magical… but it’s not gentle!
That’s why the hotel features:
A- Two outdoor swimming pools
B- Sun terraces and garden areas
C- Sauna and steam bath
D- Massage services (your calves will thank you)
This makes the hotel especially attractive for travelers staying two nights or more, where relaxation becomes just as important as sightseeing.
You’ll also find:
An on-site restaurant serving breakfast and meals
Bar and lounge area
Room service
Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
Free parking for self-drive travelers

As a 3-star deluxe hotel, Petra Palace offers exceptional value—especially considering its unbeatable location.
Recent renovations have refreshed the interiors while keeping the hotel’s character intact. You’re not paying luxury-hotel prices, but you’re also not compromising on comfort or service.
For travelers who prefer spending money on experiences rather than unnecessary room upgrades, this hotel hits the sweet spot.
We’ve inspected—and stayed in—many hotels in Wadi Musa.
Some have: Better views, Maybe newer furniture and bigger names ..
But very few combine location + hospitality + facilities + fair pricing as effectively as Petra Palace Hotel.
That balance is exactly why we keep recommending it.
Petra Palace Hotel is not just a place to sleep. It’s a strategic base, a comfortable recovery zone, and a welcoming introduction to Petra.
If you want:
To walk to Petra’s entrance
To feel genuinely welcomed
To relax properly after long exploration days
To get excellent value for your money
Then Petra Palace Hotel is a choice you won’t regret.
📌 Pro Tip: Rooms close to Petra sell out quickly—especially during high season. Book early, or let professionals handle it for you 😉
