I've stayed here on two trips to Beirut and highly recommend it. It's a big complex right on the seafront slightly out of the town center. But you can still easily walk to neighborhoods such as Hamra and Verdun, as well as along the corniche to the pigeon rocks. It's very much a Swiss hotel and doesn't have any middle... more

My husband has been working In Beirut on and off for over a year and I was finally convinced to go with him. Although I felt uncomfortable around the town I really have to recommend the Hotel. On the sea it has its own beach which was being refurbished while I was there. Where to begin . . . Rooms... more

We stayed for 3 nights med-Feb 06 on a break from Cyrpus. A superb hotel that is worthy of its 5* rating. Beautiful decor, very helpful staff and great luxuary all round. The fitness area and indoor swimming pool are of the highest quality, with a large number of machines, plenty of TV screens etc and lots of staff to... more

We stayed here with our two young children in the height of the summer season. We stayed for about four days, as we were actually staying in West Beirut with family for the bulk of our vacation, but wanted some beach time. The pool area is really great for families, the bar and restaurant had good service, and though the... more

My wife and I are just back from a 10 day stay at the Movenpick during Ramadan. The hotel’s leisure facilities are unique in Beirut with 3 outdoor pools, a marina, one indoor pool and a well equipped gym. We stayed during low season, with low occupancy rate at the hotel, and the poolside restaurant and bar were closed. Therefore,... more

Great place to stay - close to the center and next to the beach. Fab pool (50m) allowed for some sunbathing before exploring the city. Great breakfast until 11 am with mixture of Western/Swiss and Middle Eastern choices. Very friendly stuff. Unsual for this type of hotel: our room had only a shower, albeit big one. We were on the... more

Spent 6 nights here and it was fantastic, room was large and had all the facilities needed, nice comfortable bed, good size bathroom, nice towels and robes. The hotel staff were courteous and efficient. The restaurants are excellent offering Lebanese, Medditeranean and European cuisine to a very high standard, and they have great views of the sea, Very nice bar... more

I stayed at the Movenpick in early March 2005. It is located outside the city centre (which is about 2 or 3 kilometers away) directly at the Mediterranean Sea with private beach and Marina. It's a quiet location, you don't notice that you are in a city! Great rooms, fast and easy in-room internet connection, extremely well equipped health centre,... more
