I
had
the
most
wonderful
experience
staying
at
The
Mango
House
during
my
visit
to
Amman,
Jordan.
This
charming
building,
located
on
Mango
Street,
offers
an
unparalleled
view
of
Jabal
Akhddar
and
downtown
Amman,
making
it
a
truly
memorable
place
to
stay.
The
architecture
of
The
Mango
House
is
a
true
testament
to
the
genius
of
architect
Mukhtar
Saqr.
The
smooth
rose
stone
construction
and
the
exquisite
wrap-around
balconies
are
nothing
short
of
breathtaking.
It's
evident
that
the
house
stands
as
a
shining
example
of
a
new
style
of
Jordanian
architecture,
distinct
from
its
predecessors
of
the
1920s
and
30s,
as
well
as
its
contemporaries
from
the
1940s.
The
thoughtful
design,
with
clear
separation
of
rooms,
adds
to
the
uniqueness
of
the
experience.
The
rich
history
of
The
Mango
House
adds
a
layer
of
depth
to
the
stay.
Built
by
the
Mango
brothers,
Kamal
and
Ali,
in
the
late
1940s,
it
is
a
part
of
the
illustrious
business
dynasties
of
Amman
during
that
era.
The
fact
that
it
was
initially
constructed
to
accommodate
two
brothers
showcases
the
thoughtfulness
and
care
put
into
its
design.
Knowing
that
the
Mango
family
still
occupies
the
house
today,
further
connects
you
to
its
heritage
and
legacy.
During
my
time
at
The
Mango
House,
I
felt
the
warmth
and
hospitality
that
comes
from
a
place
with
such
a
rich
family
history.
The
attention
to
detail
in
the
house's
interior,
which
was
remodeled
in
the
1970s
and
further
improved
in
1995,
only
adds
to
the
overall
comfort
and
pleasantness
of
the
stay.
I
highly
recommend
The
Mango
House
to
anyone
visiting
Amman.
Whether
you're
an
architecture
enthusiast
or
simply
seeking
a
unique
and
memorable
accommodation,
this
place
offers
an
unforgettable
experience.
The
breathtaking
views,
historical
significance,
and
warm
ambiance
make
it
a
perfect
choice
for
your
stay
in
Jordan.
I
can't
wait
to
return
and
immerse
myself
in
the
beauty
and
charm
of
The
Mango
House
once
again.
