Check-In: Four Seasons Hotel Beirut, Lebanon

There is a plethora of hotel varieties in Beirut, Lebanon but very few fit international standards of luxury in accommodation. Four Seasons is one of these hotels. Located in the new swanky part of downtown Beirut overlooking the historic St. George Yacht Club, the hotel has some of the best views of the city. The newly-cemented building is large-scale and central. It’s hard to miss if you are in the capital.

The accommodation is that of a Four Seasons, minor modern touches to overarching contemporary renaissance. Having all the amenities of a traditional hotel with comfort as a mindset and grandeur as an overall aura. Though it may not have considered a minimalist approach to its interior decor, it has all the conveniences that one would expect from such a brand name. In fact, the service could be the second biggest draw to this establishment.

The first is certainly the impeccable pool area. Undoubtedly, the Four Seasons has the best scenery from a pool in the entire country. What has become an elite nightlife hot spot, is actually as vibrant and striking during the summer days. The jacuzzi is almost glass-encased and features a panoramic view of new and old Beirut. The sun beds line the glass walls and the bars are always serving up well-mixed cocktails. This feature is truly a remarkable point of interest that should be on every tourist’s itinerary. It gives you the bird’s eye view and is great photo opportunity.

Also, it’s important to note that Four Seasons Beirut probably has the best PR team in the country. They are highly responsive, prompt and diligent in their efforts. In fact, they went as far as responding to our needs via Twitter. A feature that, so far, we only encountered in top-notch design hotels in New York City. That takes great dedication and effort. It’s things like this that make this hotel an exceptional one to stay in.
