B&Bs & Auberges, Lebanon

Displayed:   times.

The Lebanese are renowned for their hospitality, but the concept of launching B&B businesses is a new concept to most Lebanese, especially in smaller towns. Consequently, despite the increasing demand by European and North American tourists to stay in B&Bs for an authentic Lebanese experience, there have hitherto been few options in Lebanon. However, the past few years have seen an increase in the number of B&Bs as local ecotour operators establish relationships with local communities and bring small groups to stay. The price of staying in a B&B is typically inexpensive (US$5 to US$30 per person per night, depending on the remoteness of the location) and is usually included in the total price of a tour package to a particular region of Lebanon. Independent travelers can reserve rooms in charming and unique auberges (“inns”).For example, the Auberge al-Fanar (meaning “lighthouse” in Arabic) is a nice, clean inn with nine rooms located on the coast in Tyre. Prices start at US$20-US$25 per person per night including breakfast. Also, a new company, The Lebanon Host (L’Hôte Libanais), arranges B&Bs in private residences in Beirut. Prices run from US$35 for a single occupancy room to US$55 for a double occupancy room and include accommodation, breakfast, bath and bed linen. Reservations can be made by phone or email.
