THOMASFROMDAMASCUS wrote a review Jan 2024
Damascus, Syria3764 contributions793 helpful votes
The Best Five Star Hotel in Beirut is still, in my candid opinion, the: Rotana Gefinor. The Rotana Gefinor is in the Hamah District of Beirut and is very close to many of the “happening night spots” of Beirut. Firstly, I had booked an Airport Pickup directly from the hotel, and as we were leaving the Departure area of Beirut International Airport, we found the hotel’s driver with our name on a sign board. We were quickly whisked away from the airport to Rotana Gefinor hotel. Upon driving up to the entrance of the Gefinor hotel the hotel’s Bell Staff were waiting for our arrival. Our suitcases were taken from the van and placed in the reception area. At the Check in Reception Area Mr. Ali welcomed my wife and I with a warm greeting and asked how was our fight? He informed us that our upgraded suite was ready and prepared for our arrival. We were upgraded into Suite number #1501 which has a great view of both downtown Beirut and of course the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Waiting for us in our suite was a nice plate of fresh cut fruits and a very nice bottle of St. Thomas, 2018 Reserve Red Wine complements of the Food & Beverage Manager. My wife and I decided instead of eating at the hotel’s Olive Garden restaurant on the ground floor or going out of the hotel for dinner that we would simply order a light dinner in our suite from the hotel’s Room Service. The room service was very fast and the soup and Pizza Margaritta with fresh mushrooms were both very tasty. The complementary Red Wine went very well with our dinner. The Rotana Gefinor allowed us to have a very relaxed dinner in our room and my wife and I both slept quite early. All the Rotana rooms/suites are very comfortable and have everything one needs for an enjoyable stay. In the morning my wife and I enjoyed a very delicious breakfast buffet served in the Olive Garden restaurant. The Chef’s homemade Omelets were very tasty and prepared perfectly. Later that morning we had a very professional check-out, and they took our car from the underground car park to the departure area. To our surprise the car had been washed and was very clean. What makes me say that the Rotana Gefinor is the top Five Star Hotel in Beirut is simply because of first the top service rendered to us ; all rooms/suites are extremely well decorated and are very relaxing for all guests, the Rotana Gefinor location is very convenient district for shopping or simply walking in the Hamara District, and finally on each of my stays the staff greats us warmly and always remembers our names. So, I firmly feel that the Rotana Gefinor is: “My Home Away from Home in Beirut”. I guarantee that you will feel the same after a few stays at the Rotana Gefinor, trust me on this point.

Gefinor Rotana lives up to the expectation as a perfect location for business community people, who needs high standard on services, food, and calm and pleasant rooms. In Beirut power outage is a major problem, but generators turn on immediately and makes this an non-issue. Air condition works well. I used the well equipped gym every day, not so much the roof top swimming pool, but can assure you that it is excuisite. By the end of my stay, there were not many client left, but this was due to the travel advice of many countries regarding safety of their citizens. Hopefully, they will soon be able to come back. Lebanon deserves more visitors!

My recent stay at Gefenor Hotel was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I stepped into the great lobby, I knew I was in for a treat. The staff's warm welcome and genuine hospitality set the tone for a perfect vacation. The room was spacious, immaculate, and beautifully appointed with modern amenities. The plush bedding and fluffy pillows provided and comfortable bed. The attention to detail in the room's design was evident, and I appreciated the little touches that made me feel right at home. The staff were great and always eager to help.
