Gefinor Rotana – Beirut

Ideally located in downtown Beirut and not far from the bustle and vibrant shopping streets, a short walk to the Corniche and slightly further to the marina and port or main shopping district of the redeveloped seafront. The hotel is very large with amenities spread across its seventeen levels with a very highly rated restaurant on the ground floor entrance level. The staff were so friendly and welcoming making my visit so much more relaxing with greetings and a smile at all times from every member of staff I encountered. I arranged an airport transfer to the hotel and was met, warmly, as I exited arrivals then had a comfortable journey to the hotel with my driver pointing out areas and landmarks as we passed through the city. Check in was smooth and my room was on the twelfth floor with a seated balcony area and views of the city and large room and shower room with a very comfortable bed and plenty of storage, with hot drink facilities and a fridge too. As for Beirut, all I can say is if you haven’t visited, you must, it’s large, vibrant and welcoming, beautiful sights, friendly people and incredible nightlife, it was the highlight of my winter vacation, by far. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for giving me the opportunity to enjoy your hospitality at your beautiful hotel.

The property was well maintained with beautiful architecture and decorations within. I love the rooms and the comfort they were able to bring my family and I. Pool and gym was exception beyond what other hotels are able to offer. The outdoor cab drivers were also extremely friendly, helpful, along with quick service. Omar was the most friendly and receptionist i have ever met. He was always helpful and brought a smile to me and my family face every time we saw him. At the end we felt as if we made a new friend for life!

I traveled for emergency reasons and from the moment I arrived the front desk team with their manager were amazing and very professional. They upgraded my room and offered me additional services at no added cost. Every single member of the hotel were so kind and respectful. Room are spacious and very clean. Room amenities were of good quality. Hotel location is excellent. This is my favorite Hotel in Beirut and I tried over 6 different Hotels. I will definitely be back. Truly a 5 Star Experience

A comfortable room with a lovely view, a diverse breakfast offering everything I enjoy, and a prime location—close to stores, pharmacies, and restaurants, with vibrant Bliss Street just a short walk away. The staff is friendly and always ready to help, especially the reception team, including Ribal.

This is the first review I’ve ever written on booking.com and I’m only doing so because my stay at Rotana was absolutely incredible — if you’re considering this place, look no further, it’s perfect. Here’s my review breakdown: Staff: they made this trip worthwhile and truly memorable from the moment we checked in. We felt like we’re home and we were truly taken care of. They recommended shops, restaurants and so much more when we asked. They even provided me with a first aid kit when I got injured even though I didn’t ask for it. They’re amazing. Shout out to Mohammed for impeccable hospitality. I’ve been to many Rotana branches around the world, this by far is the best of the best. The entire Rotana team deserves a great year end bonus for their performance. 10000000/10. Location: perfection, you’ve got 3 incredible barista shops around, 2 great pharmacies, a supermarket, a bakery, groceries, a hospital, and an incredible hair salon that’s a 2 min walking distance. Everything you may ever require is a 10 minute walking distance max. I enjoyed it so much I can’t put it into words. Rooms: GCC fellows, I understand as a GCC resident you may have skepticism about the AC especially if you’ve read previous reviews, but it works absolutely fine if you close the windows properly. They staff will also double check and do the needful if it’s not functioning well — the rooms are exceptionally clean and they smell fantastic. Housekeeping were so good they rang us in before we rung them in everyday, we had 0 complaints.
