“Classic top-end hotel”

Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

The Phoenicia is a Bentley among hotels. It's not funky or cutting edge, yet it performs its function as a top-end hotel with effortless elegance.The decor is far from dated, yet neither the public areas nor the rooms would have looked out of place 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Similarly, the polite, efficient staff are trained to offer service... More

“Great hotel and best breakfast!”

Reviewed 11 June 2013 via mobile

The hotel is close to anything worth visiting in Beirut -- Hamra, Zaytuna Bay, Ashrafieh, and Downtown. What really made the difference for me however was the breakfast which was the... More

“Great Hotel, Great Location & Great Food”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

This is a great hotel, little bit expensive but worth it. You feel the luxury in this hotel is different than other hotels in Dubai for example. It gives you the feeling of living in an ancient building but with great service and amneties. The rooms are the normal Intercon style but the bathroom is fabulous. The breakfast is one... More

“Very good, but too pretentious”

Reviewed 30 May 2013

It's definitely a very good hotel, but I have always found it too outdated and pretentious. They've been carrying a famous name for a while, and they bank heavily on that. However, I really don't think it's worth the money, despite the fact that it's one of the more luxurious hotels in Beirut. Don't get me wrong, it won't end... More

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights in April for a friend's wedding and the hotel was quite good. The room was somewhat 'standard' but the bathroom was very nice. We also used the spa, which was reasonably priced and had good facilities. We had a view of the outdoor pool (which is gorgeous) and the... More

I was looking forward to my stay here, this being one of the Grande Dames of Beirut's hotel scene. I had booked an advance payment rate, and emailed a request for transport from the airport to the hotel.
