Achrafieh

La Maison Rayes

La Maison Rayes is located in the historic Sursock neighbourhood, known for its lavish mansions and luxurious palaces. Bordering the world-renowned Sursock Museum, the guesthouse's eye-catching white door and its bucolic stairs are an unmistakable landmark in the area. Although the house was built in the mid-60s, many of its ornaments were salvaged or inspired from the sumptuous palace that used to stand at the same location. This resulted in a unique composition of architectural influences, such as the gorgeous wooden doors in the main hall adorned with stained glass and Arabic calligraphy — an exceptional blend of Ottoman, Italian and French design. The house was renovated in 2019, giving the bedrooms an ultra-modern look while still reminiscing on the house's rich history, thus seamlessly blending tradition and modernity and that feeling of architectural diversity. This unique mixture of old and new makes staying in this house an incomparable experience.&nbsp;-Number of rooms 3 Number of guests 6 Price range $$$

Zanzoun

While the older residences of Beirut are often recalled with nostalgia, a few hidden gems are still standing across the capital, waiting to be discovered.

Zanzoun is named after its host, Zeina, a lover of the Orient herself. A traveller at heart, located between Beirut's Mediterranean shores and the Nile's riverbanks in Egypt, Zeina draws inspiration from both places. In her Beirut residence, she celebrates the Levant with handpicked decorations: every detail and object comes together in harmony. Zanzoun guesthouse includes three private bedrooms and a shaded courtyard. The home is an ode to the Orient, decorated with warm colours and artisanal fabrics that come to life in unity.&nbsp;-Number of rooms 3 Number of persons 6 Price range $$

Baalbak district

Haush el Ghanam

Al Haush Agritourism

Al Haush is an elegant country estate in the heart of Central Bekaa countryside, just a short drive from Rayak, Zahle. The estate is as well within easy reach of West Bekaa, an area known for its natural beauty and its vineyards. Today, it is an agro-guesthouse and a working farm in Central Bekaa, but like other spots in this glorious countryside, it was first settled during the Neolithic times and was famous during the Roman times, when the Bekaa valley used to be known as the granary of Rome (Grenier de Rome).&nbsp;The Bekaa valley's rich background, from ruins to vineyards and stunning landscapes makes it one of Lebanon’s richest regions in heritage and nature. From the earliest days to date, its endless green valley has attracted all generations of farmers who have lived from its generous lands. Here, communities spread over villages made of mud houses and separated by a yard, called “haushs” in Arabic, where farmers lived with their families, cattle and their harvest. From up north Hermel down to Rashaya in the southern part, the Bekaa is still home today to more than 18 “haushs” that have become an intrinsic part of the inhabitants’ lifestyle and identity. While all of them carry beautiful legacies, one eternalises nostalgia, turning a family story into a daily celebration of authenticity.-Number of rooms 14 Number of guests 63 Price range $$$

Each room of the Ecolodge de Taanayel has a private bathroom with hot water showers powered by solar energy.

L'Annexe

L’Annexe is an exceptional accommodation for an exceptional city. Baalbek is like no other city in Lebanon.

L’Annexe is a traditional Lebanese home built in the 19th century that includes five rooms and a patio. Light passes through its arched windows, filling the quarters with a golden and ochre glow, and Baalbek’s columns stand proudly in the distance. The melange of Arab and Greek decor becomes a microcosm of Baalbek’s diverse roots: an encounter of peoples and civilisations, where Phoenicia meets Rome, crossing paths with Arab caravaners resting under Baalbek’s sun, whose glorious light inspired the city’s Greek name, Heliopolis.-Number of rooms 5 Number of guests 10 Price range $

Originally from the village, he bought these 15 hectares in the early 70s. At the time, there was a very high demand for apples, and like many other farmers, he decided to fill his orchard with apple trees as well as of some other fruit trees. In love with his land, Saïd, who then worked in Congo, returned there every summer with his family. Saïd passed on his passion for this place to Raed, his fourth child, and that’s how he and his family decided to settle in Lebanon. To acquire the necessary experience, Raed spent several months in France learning the basics of food growing and beekeeping from a small farmer who dabbled in biodynamic agriculture. Finally, in 2015, he decided to convert the orchard to organic agriculture and to start growing vegetables between the trees. Joanna rejoined him in the spring of that year after she had completed her degree in sustainable architecture. And that’s when it all began!-Number of rooms 2 Number of guests 4 Price range $

Saqi Rechmaya

SaQi Guesthouse

A true retreat from the busy world, SaQi guesthouse is a dream come true of nature lovers. The three-bedroom building was passed down to Gisèle from her father and she chose to restore it as a family. Known locally as 'the School' (it was actually a monastery and seminary), SaQi enjoys a peaceful mountain setting. Natural light pours in generously, illuminating plants and flowers, dark wood furniture and colorful fabrics. The interior blends so harmoniously with the surroundings that you feel at one with nature wherever you sit. SaQi Guest House owes its name to the place where it is located, Saqi Rechmaya; it means 'irrigation' or 'water source'. The property, which is surrounded by a pine forest with beautiful hiking trails, is not only a tribute to history, but is also designed to be an extension of the natural setting. Passionate about gardening and ecology, Gisèle has placed recycling and eco-responsible practices at the heart of her project. If SaQi radiates such a beautiful energy, it is undoubtedly because of Gisèle's passion for it. Together with her family, she has devoted her undivided attention to making the place what it is today. The elegant furniture, mixing revisited antique pieces and more modern touches, is an illustration of this among others.-Number of rooms 3 Number of guests 8 Price range $

Abdelli

Abdelli Terraces

Abdelli is a typical Lebanese village perched at about 600m above sea level in the region of Batroun, less than 15 minutes away from the beach. The beauty of the landscape and the history that oozes from the old rocks and houses give the area a perfect harmony that makes it an ideal place for relaxation and culture. Abdelli Terraces is located on a hill next to the village of Abdelli. The inhabitants call it “dahr el jamal” because it looks like the back of a camel. From there, the view is breathtaking; green valleys plunging towards the sea, pine forests and mountain tops covered in snow. Beautiful walks in the region include old paths leading to the convents of Saint Rafka and Kfifane.&nbsp;The project stretches over several hectares. At its heart are the old abandoned Lebanese houses - transformed into a guesthouse - that set the tone of the village. The architecture of the project is inspired by these simple yet beautiful houses that embody Lebanese traditions and the inherent respect that our ancestors had for mother nature.-Number of rooms 3 Number of guests 5 Price range $$$

Douma

Beit Douma

Perched at an altitude of 1000 meters in the heights of Batroun, Beit Douma watches over the mountain and its splendid fields of olive trees.

The Beit Douma project is a continuation of Souk El Tayeb, the weekly farmers' market in the heart of Beirut. Just as the market and its rural products bind communities together and support agriculture on a human scale, the restoration of this old Lebanese house contributes to the promotion of the village of Douma and the preservation of Lebanese heritage.
