Wow. This is a new hotel on the outskirts of Wadi Musa (the town next to Petra). It is beautifully decorated in velvet and gold geometry. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Everything is spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The public area is spacious and welcoming. The dining area is also spacious and the glass walls provide astounding views of Wadi Musa and beyond.... dinner with a view of the sunset dipping behind the renowned Petra mountains takes a lot of beating! Stunning. A balcony leads from the dining room/lounge. It is windy out there due to the hilltop location, but the views of the valley/mountains make it worth enduring the breeze. Food at RN Petra is wonderful. So many vegan options, very varied, and all absolutely delicious. The salads were wonderful. Halva for breakfast! The hotel has a pool. Small/deep/unheated...but very welcome on a hot day nonetheless. The 'spa' can be opened on request if 5 or more travellers are interested. There is a cafe a little further down the road and numerous other businesses, but I did not explore these. A walk from the hotel into Wadi Musa itself would be lovely, but the hill is steep and I would recommend a taxi back up. This will cost around 6 Jordanian Dinar. The hotel does not serve alcohol at all in line with local custom, but there are alcohol free versions available. This is an absolutely stunning place to stay while visiting the amazing ancient city of Petra. The best hotel I have ever stayed in (and likely ever will). The views here are out of this world.
