Hotels in Lebanon

The Experience

An ancient land, Lebanon's cities were major outposts and seaports in Phoenician and Roman times, just two of the great civilizations that touched this important Middle Eastern crossroads. The cosmopolitan flair of modern-day Beirut, the gastronomic renown of the country's food and wine, and an educated and outward-looking population complement a country that is both traditional and progressive in outlook. For all the flavors of its storied past and rugged natural beauty, Lebanon is a well-kept tourist secret that begs exploration. To visit Lebanon is to dispel preconceived notions that linger from a relatively short moment in a long, vivid, and fascinating history: drink in the energetic, urbane vibe of revitalized Beirut, explore a diverse and beautiful landscape that lends itself easily to an unforgettable multi-sport adventure, marvel at archaeological wonders that are windows into the cradle of civilization, and simply enjoy the welcome of a people who are naturally hospitable, friendly, and gregarious.
