This is our Luxury pick in Beirut. It suits business travellers, couples and families who want a reliable 5-star with a spa, a gym, a restaurant and family rooms, all listed by the property.
It also works for short stays. Guests mention a short drive from the airport and easy reach of ABC Mall and Hamra Street.
Skip it if you want to walk out of the door to the city's landmarks. The sights in our data are all over half an hour away on foot. Travellers with very particular breakfast tastes should also read what guests say.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Verdun, at Verdun dunes Center. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10 and call it central, near ABC Mall and Hamra Street.
For sightseeing, distances are longer. Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque and Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral are each about 2.5 km away, roughly 31 minutes on foot. Sursock Museum is about 3.2 km, around 40 minutes. These are straight-line estimates and all of them are far for a casual walk, so plan on a taxi or public transport.
Parking is not listed in our data. If you are driving, ask the hotel about parking and any fee.
What guests say
Across 917 reviews the score is 9.0 out of 10, joint second of 8 eligible properties in the sample.
The location is the most praised point, followed closely by the staff, who are described as friendly and professional, with a warm welcome and efficient service.
Breakfast divides opinion. Some find it tasty, while others report limited variety and dull options.
