Arthaus Beirut
Lebanon
Arthaus Beirut is a boutique hotel in Gemmayze, set in restored buildings with 19th-century Ottoman character. Fifteen rooms and suites sit within gardens built on the grounds of a Roman villa, whose remains can still be seen. Sandstone terraces and a partly shaded swimming pool create a secluded outdoor setting behind the lively neighbourhood streets. The interiors combine inherited architecture with eclectic contemporary design. Dining and bars are part of the property, while concierge services arrange tailored experiences around Beirut. The emphasis on art, heritage and gardens gives Arthaus a residential character within one of the city’s busiest cultural districts.
