NEW IN BEIRUT BY L'HÔTE LIBANAIS HENRYMOON
The fast pace of the city fades into obscurity and an air of nostalgia permeates the beautifully curated rooms that form Henrymoon, an enchanting seventh-floor apartment where Henry, the owner, has brought to life Beirut’s eternal magic. A talented artist, Henry has delicately arranged every inch of this inspiring residence to pay homage to a city he loves, filling it with decorative objects, antiques and furniture he has rescued from the souks and abandoned homes of the capital. From the colored windowpanes to the ornately painted ceiling, Henrymoon is nothing short of a work of art.
Located in Geitawi, the accommodation comprises one twin room, a salon and a small balcony overlooking Beirut and Mount Lebanon in the distance. It's an excellent choice for solo travelers or couples seeking comfort and privacy in a home with immense architectural and artistic value.
