The Best Luxury Hotels in Beirut, Lebanon, for a Romantic Getaway
The Lebanese capital of Beirut is a prime spot for romantic breaks away from it all, with luxurious hotels offering everything from plush spas to world-class cuisine.
Beirut is the perfect pick for loved-up couples looking to balance laid-back sun and sea fun with proper sightseeing. Busy days can be spent shopping the slick, modern souks, home to fashion-forward shops and trendy restaurants; wandering through treasure-packed museums; or snapping selfies at the 12th-century ruins at nearby Byblos. Evenings can be spent strolling the Corniche waterfront, or dining in an elegant restaurant. The nights? Well, that’s reserved for these luxury hotels – the very best romantic getaways in Beirut.

4. Crowne Plaza Hotel Beirut
Chain Hotel
Calling all foodies – the Crowne Plaza is primely placed in Hamra, an electric neighbourhood of bars and restaurants, so it’s an ideal pick for couples who want to spend evenings out exploring. Or for those who just want to chill – particularly in the glassy indoor pool, topped with a greenhouse-style roof (nowhere’s better if you need to crash the day after a big party session). Bedrooms come with robes and terraces, a lovely extra indulgence.

8. Kempinski Summerland Hotel & Resort Beirut
Resort
Bang on the coast, south of Beirut’s city centre, the Kempinski is built around a lagoon-like pool; when viewed from the right angle, it almost feels like a floating city. No question, this is a pick for couples who want to take it easy, spending days soaking up rays while lazing on palm-shaded loungers and sipping fruity cocktails. Kick-off your morning with a floating breakfast for two – flaky pastries and pancakes munched straight from a bobbing tray in the pool.
9. Hilton Beirut Habtoor Grand
Chain Hotel
Kids in tow on your romantic break? The Hilton Beirut Habtoor Grand has family-friendly facilities aplenty – kids’ pool, connecting rooms – but also coupley perks such as a shuttle to the nightlife of Hamra Street, handy once the skies turn inky. Rooms dressed in lemon sorbet hues come with private balconies or broad sweeping views from big windows. Be sure to catch live music in the highest bar in Lebanon, Up on the 31st.
