The hotel location is simply amazing, very central and close to each and every needed destination, a walk to down town and a 15 min taxi ride to the cities hot spots and night life Rooms are spacious, but you should ask for a high floor, as a lot of construction is going on close to the hotel.

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. Sure enough, the hotel's stand at the arrivals hall had someone waiting to take our luggage to the minivan I ordered. Cost... More

I stayed at Phoenica for 3 nights in May 2013 and I had a great time. The hotel is definitely located in the middle of Beirut and in front of the sea. All around they are developing some luxury high-rise condos (designed by top international architects) which will be completed in a couple of years and Phoenicia will be the... More

The hotel location is excellent overlooking Saint Gorge bay which has lots of fine restaurants and cafes. Beirut Souk is only 10 minutes walk with many up scale dining options. The service was impeccable, the rooms exceptional and the staff members very friendly and helpful. They always greet guests with a smile. Breakfast is an 'experience' that is not to... More

Very well greeted by MR Roy and well looked after ... He upgraded me to a nicer room with almost sea view as you don't want to be overlooking city view as it faces a demolished building and not yet under renovation ... Nice gym , pool was ok though a bit small to accommodate all the beach beds and... More
