PROJECT | Layered illumination heightens luxury in hotel and living spaces
In the world of luxury hospitality, the new Ritz-Carlton Amman sets the standard in elegance as a unique Middle Eastern destination for leisure and business guests. Home to over 200 guest rooms, a spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a wide range of dining venues, the Ritz-Carlton Amman Hotel offers guests unrivaled comfort.
Standing next to the hotel is The Residences, bringing Ritz-Carlton’s famous service to an exquisite residential community unlike any other in the region. Residents can enjoy luxury from the sanctuary of their private homes, with access to all the tower’s amenities, including a cinema, gaming room, indoor pool and fitness center, and beauty salon.
The design of the two towers infuses the modern elegance of cosmopolitan Amman with inspiration from Jordan’s culture and design, delivering a stunning addition to the backdrop of the city’s skyline and offering scenic views of Amman.
The aim of the lighting design was to enhance the elegant interiors with sleek and sophisticated luminaires. Lighting designers MBLD specified Lucent Lighting’s premium solutions for The Residences and hotel, employing a variety of fixtures including downlights, inground lights, and wall lights throughout guest rooms, public spaces, and F&B areas.

Discreet downlights subtly illuminate the guest rooms’ crisp white walls and lavish décor for a clean overall finish. Opulent marble bathrooms are backlit with fresh white lighting for a rejuvenating experience.
A warm glow introduces an intimate ambience for diners overlooking the city lights. Sophisticated lighting layers the darker wooden décor and plush seating of the meeting and lounge rooms, while the bar is backlit with gold to illuminate the dazzling display of bottles.
Lucent MiniTRIM downlights enhance the elegance of The Residences. The lighting acts as a key part of the overall design, blending seamlessly into the interiors while creating an intentional visual effect. The layers of thoughtful lighting bring to life colors and textures, spotlighting patterned tiles and enriching the plush materials of the premium homes.
Rob Honeywill, design director at MBLD, said, “Lucent Lighting’s range of luminaires perfectly complemented the lighting design we created to illuminate the extravagant interior design of the hotel and Residences. Each luminaire blended seamlessly into the overall design while meeting the distinct atmosphere and requirements for each space. The premium lighting solutions perfectly matched the aesthetic of this prestigious project, enhancing the guest experience and providing the quality expected by the Ritz-Carlton.”
