I've had the pleasure of staying at this hotel five times over the past two years, and I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in Beirut.
The hotel’s intimate size is undoubtedly one of its strengths, offering a cosy and familiar atmosphere that larger establishments lack. The rooms are clean, with a timeless and elegant design. The furnishings are solid, and the beds are generously sized and comfortable, perfectly suited to my taste.
What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. Without exception, they are warm, welcoming, and attentive. The receptionists, in particular, are discreet and go out of their way to accommodate my requests. Both check-in and check-out have always been quick and efficient. Housekeeping is thorough, and both the room service and laundry services are consistently prompt and reliable. The doormen deserve special mention for their attentiveness, always rushing forward, ensuring you are escorted to your taxi.
One of the hotel’s most significant advantages is its location, situated in Achrafieh, arguably the safest area in Beirut. Additionally, the ABC Shopping Mall, which I frequent almost daily during my stays, is just a short walk away. It offers a wide range of shops and services that are particularly useful for travellers, as well as a variety of cafés. A taxi ride from the hotel to downtown Beirut typically takes 5 to 8 minutes, depending on traffic.
I’m already looking forward to my next visit in the coming year!
