A benchmark in the Lebanese art of hotel management, Hotel Le Bristol - Beirut is distinguished by its elegant and sophisticated spaces. 

The Hotel Le Bristol, a top of the range, five star establishment, with 151 rooms, closed its doors in June 2013 for renovation. Two years later, on the eve of its 65th anniversary, this Lebanese institution will be reborn under the vision and expertise of Galal Mahmoud, founder of GM Architects.

Major restoration work has been carried out, in particular on all the rooms and the shared spaces – with the addition of six new rooms and its infrastructure. The renovation seeks to modernise the style and décor of the hotel while preserving its authentic, vintage and luxurious cachet, as well as maintaining the standards of the quality of services provided.

Its reopening in June is one of the major events of the Lebanese capital in 2015.
