The Kempinski Hotel Ishtar gives you the opportunity to enjoy its riches where Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra once strived to unravel mystery. Situated gracefully on the shores of the largest spa in the world the Dead Sea, unique for its ozone-rich air, mineral sea water and ultra-violet filtered sunshine. Surely there is no region on earth where nature and history have more wonderfully conspired, where so exciting drama has obtained a so beautiful theatre.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for having stayed with us and for sharing your constructive feedback. We regret that unfortunately we have not met to your expectations during your stay with us. On behalf of the entire team, we would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you have encountered. We are saddened to know that we were unable to live up to your expectations due to the bad smell that you encountered. Our engineering team is getting into the gardens to investigate and immediate actions will be implemented to prevent such inconvenience to reoccur in the future. We have also taken note of your comment related to the flies in the outdoor area and it is unfortunate that those spoilt your experience. In fact, is very limited and a seasonal occurrence and resulted by the nearby agricultural areas in the nearby Jordan valley region. We do our best to keep the inconvenience caused by those flies to a minimum but the occurrence is also very weather-related. Also, please accept our sincere apologies for the cat issue. I trust you to understand that we are doing our utmost to control the population of the cats within our premises according to the rules and regulations. Since our resort has a stretched outdoor area we at times have cats visiting us. Rest assured we took precious note of your feedback and all of the comments you have provided will be used as a tool to improve our services. We truly hope these inconvenience will not damage your overall impression of the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea and deter you from staying with us, again. It would be our utmost privilege to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future. Kind regards, Sebastien Mariette General Manager - Kempinski Hotel Ishtar & Area General Manager Levant
