The Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences

Amman, Jordan

The Ritz-Carlton in Amman, Jordan is a hotel and private residence complex, bringing the best amenities and elegant lifestyle to guests and residents. Preciosa Lighting was asked to deliver a radiant touch to the upscale Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences, creating 270 chandeliers plus seven bespoke crystal sculptures.

Reflecting authenticity with a modern twist

Designers wanted a colourful splash for the all-white lobby and gave Preciosa designers free reign to create something magical using shades of blue, gold and opal. Inspiration came from the space, which is crisp and designed in a neoclassical style. Our master glass blowers were able to demonstrate their talents in free-form crystal making, as each component in each sculpture is a hand-blown original, and in a designated colour. The sculptures also showcase the optical properties of hand-blown crystal. Each sculpture is more than one and a half metres tall and features more than 115 individually hand-blown Bohemian crystal pieces in various shapes.
 


Magnificent Lord Chandelier

Our opulent and immense Lord chandelier makes two appearances at the Ritz-Carlton, one in the main lobby and a slightly smaller version in the second lobby. Lord is an extra-large chandelier inspired by our historic Maria Theresa. Both chandeliers feature hand-blown crystal trimmings in white. Lord was originally designed for a school in Japan, but its majesty has spread to China and now Jordan. Beneath the chandelier in the main lobby is a Lord-inspired, one-metre tall table lamp.


Classical touch of Chandeliers

In the Ballroom and Pre-function area, designers wanted a classical touch. We created six chandeliers with hand-blown crystal components and a polished stainless steel and polished nickel base. Each chandelier is two and one half metres and weighs 250 kilograms. They are adorned with hand-made glass arms and hand-cut crystal components and decorated with two baskets of crystal octagons. Ten similar smaller chandeliers are in the Pre-function area, beautifying the space again with hand-crafted glass arms and crystal components.


Elegant design for guestrooms

For the guestrooms, more than 250 chandeliers were created. Every one features six arms from clear, hand-blown glass and a champagne metal base. The elegant design has fabric shades and is free from trimmings.
