Le Meridien Amman Launches a New Sustainability Meeting Package.

"We are committed to our ongoing policy of preserving nature and the environment," said Giuseppe Ressa; General Manager of Le Meridien Amman. "We are excited to highlight our sustainable meeting practices, which integrate environmental and social responsibility into the meeting process, not only for our meeting planners and guests but also for our associates."
Le Meridien Amman has 11 other meeting spaces, including the Royal Convention Centre which is the largest in Amman accommodating up to 1,000 guests and the recently renovated Grand Ballroom, which is most suitable for weddings and can accommodate up to 250 guests.
