Lock in a great price for Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

We liked the cleanliness of the facility as well as the friendly character of your staff. The facility is well maintained and everything we asked for was provided to us. The breakfast was very tasty and generous. The SPA and massage facility was professional as well. Try to make some cheap packages in dead season so that we can enjoy the facility again without high financial burden on us

High standard service in a high class hotel. Everything was fantastic, from the facilities, the excellent maintenance, the extremely polite and helpful staff. Ivan as guest relations was magnificent. It is a great value for money, as you get more than you pay for. Definitely stay again.

We were upgraded to a junior suite at no extra cost. The room was very spacious and the bed incredible comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Ivan, guest relations manager, was especially helpful and attentive to our needs. The breakfast was amazing with a large assortment of choices and very tasty food. The infinity pool had a DJ which helped set the mood. All in all it was a great experience.
