University Hotel

Ink-wash illustration of the University Hotel building on its corner, with the McDonald's at street level

Twenty-seven quiet, well-kept rooms on Bliss Street, right above the Main Gate of the American University of Beirut — a front desk that never closes and an express checkout for when the taxi's already running. Every room has its own bathroom, cable TV, air-conditioning, a refrigerator and a motorized digital safe; Wi-Fi reaches every floor.

Step outside and the street is already moving — manousheh off the saj, fresh fruit cocktails crowned with ashta, the student crowd at the gate, and a McDonald's downstairs for the three-in-the-morning kind of hunger. Hamra's two minutes away; the Corniche, a few minutes downhill toward the sea.
