King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre Managed by Hilton

King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre Managed by Hilton is a major meetings and events venue on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea near Sweimeh, Jordan. The centre is named after Hussein bin Talal, who was King of Jordan from 1952 until his death in 1999. It operates as part of the Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa complex, a five-star hospitality development operated under Hilton’s flagship Hilton brand. The convention centre opened in 2005 and was designed to serve large conferences, institutional gatherings, corporate meetings, diplomatic events, exhibitions, and other functions requiring substantial indoor and outdoor capacity. Its location places it approximately 45 kilometres from Amman and approximately 65 kilometres from Queen Alia International Airport, providing access to Jordan’s capital and principal international gateway while situating events within the Dead Sea resort area. The facility occupies approximately 24,000 square metres of floor space across three stories. It includes 27 conference halls, along with lounges, foyers, and multiple outdoor terraces. Public descriptions of the venue indicate capacity for more than 3,000 guests, with overall event capacity cited at approximately 4,000 people depending on the configuration and type of gathering. This scale positions it among Jordan’s principal venues for international conferences and high-attendance regional meetings. Its association with the Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa allows the convention operation to function alongside resort accommodation and hospitality services. The Hilton-managed identity is therefore central to the venue’s positioning: it combines dedicated meeting infrastructure with the service, accommodation, food-and-beverage, and destination characteristics of a full-service international hotel complex. The venue’s principal market is Jordan, although its location and capacity support regional and international events. The centre has hosted notable international gatherings, including a regional meeting of the World Economic Forum in 2007 and meetings associated with the International Monetary Fund. These events demonstrate its role not only as a local conference facility but also as a venue for large multilateral, economic, and policy-oriented gatherings. Available reference material does not establish a separate corporate ownership structure, detailed financial results, executive roster, or a broader network of branded properties under the convention-centre name. The documented public profile is primarily that of a single convention facility managed by Hilton within the Dead Sea resort complex.

King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre Managed by Hilton is located on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea near Sweimeh in Jordan. It takes its name from Hussein bin Talal, Jordan’s king from 1952 to 1999, and forms part of the Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa complex. The venue is operated under Hilton’s flagship hotel brand and is presented as an integrated convention and resort destination rather than as an independently documented hotel chain or standalone international brand. The centre began operations in 2005. Its development added a purpose-built meetings and events facility to the Dead Sea hospitality area, supporting Jordan’s ambitions to attract conferences, institutional gatherings, business meetings, and international events. Its position approximately 45 kilometres from Amman and approximately 65 kilometres from Queen Alia International Airport gives it access to both the capital and the country’s principal air-transport gateway, while its Dead Sea setting provides a resort environment for delegates and event guests. The facility extends across approximately 24,000 square metres and occupies three stories. It contains 27 conference halls as well as lounges, foyers, and several outdoor terraces. Published descriptions state that it can host more than 3,000 guests and accommodate approximately 4,000 people, depending on the event arrangement. The combination of multiple meeting rooms, circulation and reception areas, and outdoor spaces allows the venue to support both large plenary events and smaller concurrent sessions. A significant early milestone was the centre’s role in a 2007 regional meeting of the World Economic Forum. It has also hosted meetings associated with the International Monetary Fund. These uses illustrate the venue’s relevance to economic, governmental, institutional, and international conference programming. Its capacity and resort setting make it suitable for gatherings that require both substantial meeting infrastructure and nearby hotel accommodation. The centre’s public identity is closely linked to Hilton management and the adjacent Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa. The venue’s value proposition therefore rests on the combination of destination hospitality and dedicated conference capacity. Available source material does not provide a detailed ownership history, financial record, named executive team, or extensive chronology of renovations and rebranding. On the documented evidence, the centre is best understood as a Jordanian convention facility launched in 2005 and operated within Hilton’s Dead Sea resort complex, with a principal role in regional and international meetings.
