Gefinor Rotana

عن هذا المكان Gefinor Rotana

The Gefinor Rotana is located on Clemenceau Street in Hamra ? historically Beirut's most politically and culturally progressive neighbourhood, home to the American University of Beirut, a dense independent bookshop scene, left-wing political culture, and a social atmosphere considerably more relaxed than the rest of Beirut. The Hamra neighbourhood has been home to LGBTQ+ Beirutis and their allies for decades, and while its scene has also contracted under the pressures of the crisis years, it retains a social character ? the bookshops, the university-connected cafes, the independent restaurants ? that is among the most comfortable in Lebanon for LGBTQ+ visitors. The Gefinor Rotana, as a Rotana International hotel, operates under the chain's professional non-discrimination standards. Its Hamra location makes it accessible to the neighbourhood's restaurants and cafes and provides a different base from the Downtown and seafront hotels. For LGBTQ+ visitors who want to stay in Beirut's most traditionally liberal neighbourhood rather than Downtown, the Gefinor Rotana is a sound and practical choice.
