Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Beirut
InterContinental Phoenicia Beirut · Mina al-HusnFor this guide we have put together the best hotels in Beirut: three luxury hotels, in three different quarters.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Three luxury hotels in Beirut – how to choose
The O Monot Hotel costs €195 per night, the InterContinental Phoenicia €237. For the Sofitel Le Gabriel we quote the rate on request.
O Monot Hotel Beirut · SaifiAll three include breakfast for two, a room upgrade subject to availability, late check-out, a welcome gift – and all three add a hotel credit.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
What is remarkable about Beirut is not in the hotel but beside it: all three hotels carry a credit. That is not a given – across our portfolio almost one hotel in four carries none.
At the InterContinental Phoenicia and the Sofitel Le Gabriel it is 100 US dollars each; at the O Monot Hotel 50.
And here is the point that matters: a hundred US dollars is a hundred US dollars everywhere. The room is not.
In Beirut the night costs €195 or €237. In Rome the middle of the range is €430 – for the same credit. Which means: the same amount covers a noticeably larger share of what you were going to spend anyway.
In practice that shows up in the evening. Beirut is a city where you eat out – and a credit that is large relative to the room rate shifts the arithmetic of an evening considerably.
Our advice: tell us how many nights you are staying. At the InterContinental Phoenicia and the Sofitel Le Gabriel the benefits apply from the first night, at the O Monot Hotel from the second. So for a single night two hotels remain – and both carry the full 100 US dollars.
Where to stay in Beirut: Mina al-Husn, Saifi or Achrafieh
Beirut is made of quarters that change character within a few minutes’ walk – and the three hotels are in three of them.
Sofitel Beirut Le Gabriel · AchrafiehIn Mina al-Husn, down by the water, is the InterContinental Phoenicia. This is where the Corniche begins, the seafront promenade half of Beirut walks in the evening, and where the marina lies. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to run by the sea in the morning and walk short distances at night.
In Saifi, between the centre and the east of the city, is the O Monot Hotel – at €195 the least expensive way in. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to walk to the nightlife quarters.
In Achrafieh, on the hill to the east, stands the Sofitel Le Gabriel. Achrafieh is the quarter of stair-streets, old townhouses and restaurants. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to stay where the evenings happen.
For orientation: the Mediterranean is to the west and north, the mountains to the east. Byblos, one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in the world, is under an hour north; the Bekaa valley with Baalbek and the wineries about two hours east. And the National Museum in the middle of the city is where you grasp how many layers lie on top of each other here.
Rooms and suites: the best hotels in Beirut from the inside
The best hotels in Beirut together offer 28 categories, and six of them are suites.
The distribution is uneven: the InterContinental Phoenicia offers 24 categories, the O Monot Hotel four. Which rooms are available at the Sofitel Le Gabriel, our travel advisors will tell you on request.
The floor areas at the InterContinental Phoenicia are remarkable for this price bracket: the Presidential Suite with a sea view measures 346 square metres, two Ambassador Suites 116 each, the Diplomatic Suite 107, the Phoenician Suite 75 and the suite with a city view 52 square metres.
On the view there is one clear motif: the InterContinental Phoenicia offers categories facing the marina – the boats, and the open sea behind them.
Tell our travel advisors whether you want to face the water or the city – in Beirut those are two different stays.
What a night in a luxury hotel in Beirut costs
A night in a luxury hotel in Beirut costs €195 or €237, with the middle at €216. For the Sofitel Le Gabriel we quote the rate on request.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| O Monot Hotel Beirut | 195 € | 2 nights |
| InterContinental Phoenicia Beirut | 237 € | 1st night |
When it is loveliest: from April to June and in September and October. Warm enough for the coast and cool enough for the mountains – and both are within a single day.
When it is quietest: from November to March. It rains occasionally down here, there is snow up there, and the city belongs to the Beirutis again.
When it is liveliest: in July and August. The terraces are full and the evenings are long; if that is what you are after, come exactly then.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in January exactly as in June.
How long to stay: three to four nights. Two for the city, one for Byblos, one for the Bekaa valley – and from the second night the whole selection is open to you.
You can earn points and status in two of the three hotels: IHG One Rewards at the InterContinental Phoenicia and ALL (Accor) at the Sofitel Le Gabriel.
The Corniche, credits and exclusive services in a 5-star hotel
The Corniche is the best way into this city: a few kilometres of promenade by the water where everyone meets in the evening – anglers, families, runners. To understand Beirut, walk the length of it once.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comAfter that a stay turns on two things: where you eat and how far out of town you want to go.
On eating, the hotel credit comes into play. 100 US dollars at the InterContinental Phoenicia and the Sofitel Le Gabriel, 50 at the O Monot Hotel. Measured against room rates of €195 and €237, that share carries real weight – and in a city where the evening is the main event, you notice it.
On going out of town, what our travel advisors arrange most often is a driver for a day: to Byblos on the coast, or into the Bekaa valley to Baalbek, where the Roman temples stand. Both are day trips, and both are far easier to plan with a driver.
Then there is late check-out: flights to Europe often leave in the late afternoon, and an extra morning on the Corniche is worth more on a departure day than any upgrade.
And all three hotels include breakfast for two, the room upgrade subject to availability and the welcome gift.
