Hotel Albergo

Lebanon


NEED TO KNOW

  • Hotel Albergo is located in the heart of old Beirut in the district of Achrafieh
  • Townhouse offering a peaceful sanctuary
  • The 33 individually appointed suites combine the atmosphere of an Oriental retreat with the warmth and comfort of home
  • The Al Dente restaurant is one of the finest in Beirut, serving exciting dishes and desserts influenced by Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. A further three restaurants serve everything from gourmet cuisine to light lunches
  • A rooftop pool is set in a lovely garden of jasmine and dwarf fig trees and provides views over Beirut to the Mediterranean beyond
  • We recommend the Standard Suites for their terraces

THE HOTEL
The Hotel Albergo is a magnificent residence and a member of the renowned global organization, Relais & Châteaux. A city mansion, it boasts a delightful ochre façade that hides the most imaginative decor. Blending the Orient and the West it is a tribute to both De Nerval and Lamartine, and a nod to Pierre Loti.

All the suites are designed in different themes, with remarkable attention to detail in creating a warm, homely feel - with Bohemian crystal chandeliers, antiques and, spacious bathrooms. The bathrooms are hugely luxurious, combining natural lighting, Jacuzzi baths, precious Briare's porcelain and marble marquetry throughout.

The Albergo an ideal base from which to explore Lebanon's cultural melting pot and astonishing sights - from the Jeita Grotto and the Palace of Beiteddine to the Holy Valley of Qadisha.

We recommendThe traditional capellini with asparagus seasoned in a cream sauce flavoured with white truffles from Alba served by the Italian chef Nicola Offredi is complimented by his more bold combination of broccoli ravioli with fresh coffee beans.
