Twenty-seven rooms above the corner where the campus meets the city, on Bliss Street, directly across from the Main Gate of the American University of Beirut. Step out and the street is already moving: manousheh off the saj, fresh fruit cocktails crowned with ashta, the student crowd at the gate, and the Corniche a few minutes downhill toward the sea.
From the upper floors, the morning comes in over the Mediterranean, the AUB clocktower, and the rooftops beyond.
Twenty-seven rooms, from a compact single for a visiting scholar to a corner suite that holds the sea in its windows. From $40 a night.
The door opens onto Bliss Street, with Hamra a couple of minutes north. The campus, the Corniche, and the Mediterranean are all an easy walk.
A new specialty coffee and matcha bar concept coming to the lobby of University Hotel. Opening date to be announced soon.
A calm, well-kept hotel on Bliss Street: Twenty-seven rooms above the Main Gate of the American University of Beirut. A front desk that never closes and an express checkout for when the taxi is waiting. 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 half of the city is making breakfast: mana’eesh, saj, cafés the length of the street, and a McDonald’s downstairs for the three-in-the-morning kind of hunger. Hamra’s two minutes away; Downtown, five.
The ordinary way to stay: a night, a weekend, a conference week. Rooms from $40 a night with taxes and services included — no arithmetic at checkout. Check-in from 3 PM, checkout by 11 AM, express when you’re rushed.
For the semester across the road, the sabbatical, the research year. We’ve kept students and scholars since 1955. Stay month to month at the rolling rate, or commit to a full semester and the monthly price comes down. Same room, same desk downstairs, weekly housekeeping either way.
Eight kinds of room — by the night, the month, or the semester. Select one to see the room, its details, and all three rates.
A well-kept room for one. A good bed, a desk by the window, and the Main Gate across the street. Everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
The same quiet room with your own small veranda, and morning coffee above Bliss Street.
Twin beds and room to share. A larger room for more space or to share with a room mate, colleagues at a conference, or a parent visiting a student across the road.
Twin beds and a veranda facing the campus. The Mediterranean arrives with the morning and stays in view all day.
A bedroom and a sitting room of its own; space to work in one room and rest in the other. Made for the stay that runs past a weekend.
A generous suite with a living room, bedroom, and veranda; the campus below, the sea behind it.
A sitting room and a bedroom behind a wide veranda; campus, city and sea held in one long view.
The largest room, where the panorama is widest. Sitting and dining rooms, bedroom, and a veranda that follows the light from the campus down to the sea.
The neighborhood, traced street by street. Hover a place to find it on the map — each noted with the minutes it takes on foot.
A new specialty coffee and matcha bar concept coming to the lobby of University Hotel. Opening date to be announced soon.
