Mayflower

There are several charming hotels in central Beirut but one is distinctively in a class of its own, The Mayflower. Being among the oldest privately-owned hotels in Beirut and with the owners still playing an active daily role, The Mayflower celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007. The Mayflower provides all you would expect and more, from the cordial and personal welcome on arrival, to helping guests unwind during a much-needed break, or simply to recharge between ventures into Beirut’s rich palate of experiences.
