CROWNE PLAZA RESORT PETRA OPENS WITH FANFARE

Under the gaze of the Petra Mountains, the newly rebranded Crowne Plaza Resort Petra launches with a spectacular party

At a reception in Petra recently, a glittering party was held to celebrate the re-branding of the Petra Forum Hotel to the Crowne Plaza Resort Petra.

Managed by Six Continents Hotels, the 178-bedroom Crowne Plaza Resort Petra becomes the first Crowne Plaza hotel in Jordan and the tenth in the Middle East and Africa.

Set against a breathtaking view of the Petra mountains, the Crowne Plaza Resort Petra is only steps away from the entrance to the siq and the old city where its world-famous archaeological sites trace back 9,000 years of mankind’s history. The first ever-recorded human settlement of Beidha is a few minutes drive away.

The Castle of Shawbakh is a mere twenty minutes drive away, and the desert of Wadi Rum, wildlife reserve of Wadi Dana and coral reefs of Aqaba can be easily managed in a day trip.
