The Property

Beit Wadih guesthouse hotel is perfectly located midway between the North, South and Bekaa areas of Lebanon, in an ancient Lebanese city called Ghazir. It has been restored by its founders to maintain the charm and style dictated by its original Lebanese architecture.

The property was built with perfection in the 1950’s by Mr. Wadih Haddad, a passionate well known architect, to be his permanent residence. It is located in Ghazir, one of the most reputable Lebanese traditional villages situated in the center of FoutouhKeserwan – Mount Lebanon.

The property is formed of a 3 floor Villa surrounded by a splendid garden planted with huge Pine trees and embraced by a rich combination of flowers, roses and other plant groupings which will leave you with a memorable outdoor experience. The property enjoys a 360ْpanoramic view over the bay of Jounieh.

The villa itself strongly speaks out atypical fifties architectural character which closely correlates withLebanon’s golden era of construction. The villa’s structure is made of bearing walls and arches; all made of thick Natural yellow stones (personally handpicked) reinforced by an internal layer of concrete, one of the best construction techniquesthat defies ages.

Currently, the property is under renovation and will be transformed into an operational guesthouse by June 2015. Our main objective throughout the whole renovation process is to preserve the fifties’ character with a very careful attention to the smallest details of the villa, in order to offer our guests an authentic and extremely pleasant stay. A twist of modern touch is being added to ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience for each and every guest.

The triplex villa will have a total of nine bedrooms with private bathrooms and terraces. All guests will have access to a lounge/reception area with terraces, Kitchen, bar and of course a beautiful garden.

Wadih Haddad (1923-1992) was an Architect.He graduated and made a reputable career during Lebanon’s golden construction age in the fifties and sixties. He was known for his dedication to his work, at several occasions he used to continue his office works in his house, where one room was transformed into an office for additional late hours work.
