City hotel guide
Beirut
Beirut, the capital and largest city of Lebanon, sits on a peninsula along the Mediterranean coast. With over 5,000 years of history, it is one of the world's oldest cities and serves as the nation's political, economic, and seaport hub. Rated a Beta-World City, Greater Beirut is home to nearly half of Lebanon's population. Despite severe damage from the Civil War, the 2006 conflict, and the 2020 port explosion, the city has undergone significant reconstruction and transformation. Today, Beirut blends ancient heritage with modern dynamism, offering travelers a unique cultural experience in the heart of the Levant.

Getting Around
As a key seaport, Beirut relies on taxis and ride-hailing services. Post-reconstruction changes mean travelers should plan routes carefully, utilizing main arteries to reach hotel districts efficiently.
Best Season
Spring and autumn offer mild weather ideal for walking. Summers are hot but vibrant along the coast, while winters are mild. The city's layered history, visible through its reconstruction phases, makes it interesting year-round.
