The Monocle Travel Guide to Beirut delves into this metropolis to explore the vivacious thrum of life and unpick its many and varied quirks. Leading you through a collage of cloud-scraping hotels, Ottoman-style palaces and golden age modernist apartments, and introducing you to small-scale fashion labels and smart shop-owners rethinking traditional handicrafts, the guide will also direct you to the Monocle’s favoured tables. When you need a reprieve from the excitement of it all, hang your hat at one of the city’s best examples of Lebanese hospitality, whether it be a five-star chain or a four-room family-run guesthouse.
The heady pull of this seaside capital is magnetic. So dive into the pace of life (and the Med while you’re at it) and discover all that this Middle Eastern beacon has to offer.
