Lost Hotel is a stylish Boutique Hotel located on a trendy street/area called Gemmayzeh. Its a great, hip location to stay in Beirut.
The hotel is artsy, adorable, vibrant, lively, with about 3 rooms per floor (no lift/elevator). Rooms are spacious, colorful & bohemian designs. Id say the rooms are in 3.5/5 star condition.
Restaurant/Bar:
Lost Hotel has their own restaurant & cocktail bar. And they just opened another one across the st. Great to sit for an hour before heading out. Or even just hanging out there instead of going out.
However we had a very negative experience with the bartender & manager trying to charge us for 8 drinks when we ordered 4 “Vespers” (Vodka & Gin martini’s). We had to argue with them for 15 minutes that evening which made us late for our dinner reservation. And then the following morning, the manager continued to harass & intimidate my friend while she was having breakfast that she “owed him more money”. Until she forced him to bring a piece of paper, in which she drew out 4 martini glasses & showed him the math. Then he refunded her the extra money we paid the night before.
I do not know if he & the bartender was genuinely confused or they were trying to scam tourists, but just be careful of your bill.
Security:
The hotel has 24 hour security so you’ll always feel safe. The street itself is safe, filled with restaurants, cafes and bars.
