Beirut doesn’t announce its beauty. It lets you discover it slowly, over late dinners, sea-glimpsed rooftops, and rooms that feel lived-in rather than staged. This is a city that knows romance is found in atmosphere, not perfection. Its most beautiful hotels and restaurants don’t try to erase the past or polish it away. They lean into it, layering history, design, and soul in ways that feel unmistakably Beirut. And that is exactly where the city wins.
LOST & FOUND BEIRUT
Lost & Found is Beirut in a good mood. Bright, playful, and slightly unpredictable, it moves effortlessly between café, restaurant, bar, and social space. The design leans bold and optimistic, creating a setting that feels energizing without being overwhelming. It’s the kind of place where mornings drift into afternoons and evenings turn spontaneous, powered by a sense of community and creative freedom that feels deeply rooted in the city’s spirit.
BEIHOUSE BEIRUT
Beihouse carries the emotional weight of Beirut and turns it into something forward-looking. Born from a story of resilience, the space blends heritage architecture with contemporary design, offering rooms that feel both intimate and expansive. Dining, lounging, and gathering happen fluidly here, creating an address that feels less like a venue and more like a cultural meeting point where Beirut’s past and present sit comfortably side by side.
MAKAN BEIRUT
Makan feels like stepping into someone else’s memories. Hidden inside an old townhouse, with a jasmine-scented entrance and softly lit interiors, it trades predictability for surprise. There’s no fixed cuisine, no rigid structure, just trust in the day’s menu and the hands preparing it. Antique furniture, candles, and a sense of quiet intimacy make every meal feel personal, as if time slows down the moment you sit at the table.
MAISON DADA
Maison Dada is design-led without feeling precious. Housed in a restored heritage building, it blends bold color, contemporary art, and original architectural details into spaces that feel expressive and warm. Each apartment has its own personality, reflecting Beirut’s layered identity rather than smoothing it out. It’s a place that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and the idea that hotels can feel like homes with strong opinions.
HOTEL ALBERGO
Hotel Albergo is elegance with history baked in. Tucked away from the city’s noise, it offers a quieter, more refined side of Beirut, where antique furnishings, thoughtful details, and traditional service create a sense of timelessness. From its lush terraces to its rooftop pool overlooking the city, the Albergo feels like a sanctuary, proving that elegance and character can be just as striking as spectacle.
