It is a great place to enjoy refreshments as soon as you step in the Hotel, a quiet place for an afternoon tea and delicious home-made cakes, or a quick drink before a night on the town.
The lobby lounge's stylish modern bar, remarkable wine cellar and large stone fireplace is the hotel's way of giving its guests a warm welcome, whatever the season.

And look out also for the weekly three course business lunch set menus deliciously prepared and served in less than an hour.
warm welcome & cozy
Aside from a bar lounge that is especially pleasant at the sunset hour, most hotel guests are also drawn to the roof by the stunning, panoramic view of the city.
Then, of course, there is the second terrace which offers the opportunity of holding an intimate dinner or a private party with a small group of friends.
A collection of handcrafted outdoor furniture from the Exteta Zen line, designed by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, complements this beautifully harmonious setting.
A swim and suntan are not the only reasons to push the button to the 11th floor.
drinks & snacks

Guests who fancy cooling off in the heat of the summer can take a dip in the rooftop swimming pool or relax on the sun loungers for soaking up the rays. The perfect escape from the hustle of the city below.
If you're into your art - as Beirutis generally are - then your first port of call should be the Beirut Art Center, a not-for-profit venue dedicated to contemporary local and international art.
Beiteddine is an Ottoman-era palace rising out of the tree-clad mountains of the Chouf. Courtyards, fountains and a world-class collection of Byzantine mosaics adorn this fairytale palace.
Simultaneously petrifying and exhilarating, the nine-minute ride on the Telepherique cable car from the Bay of Jounieh to the the Lady of Lebanon shrine in Harissa is well worth taking, especially at sunset.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ruins are a sight to behold: for sheer grandeur, nothing in the country beats the vista of the Imperial Roman columns soaring over the skyline of the Bekaa Valley.
This seaside promenade is the place to get a real glimpse of Beirut life, from fishermen standing solid in the face of lashing waves to crews of jagal peacocking in Lamborghinis and coffee sellers rapping their cups like castanets.
The best way to take in Beirut's rich history is on a casual stroll through its streets. You can either do this by yourself or take part in a guided tour, such as Beirut Old City Walk.
O Monot's meeting room seats up to 15 guests in a light-filled room on the 9th floor and is finished with all the details that matter. The room includes an LCD TV screen, laptop, Free Wi-Fi and direct phone access.
Louboutin and Vuitton are but a few of the names that line the hallowed halls of Beirut's 5,000 year-old trading centre, but if you're strapped for cash and up for the thrill of a flea market, look no further than Souk Al Ahad.
