At Gefinor Rotana, we are inspired by the architectural beauty that defines Beirut’s rich cultural landscape. One of the most iconic elements of this heritage is the Lebanese arch, a symbol of elegance, strength, and craftsmanship that has adorned traditional homes and buildings for centuries.

What is a Lebanese arch?

The Lebanese arch is a distinctive architectural element characterized by a triple-arched design, with a larger central arch supported by a V-shaped keystone that ensures structural stability. Commonly found in traditional Lebanese residences and heritage buildings, it reflects a blend of Ottoman and Mediterranean influences, combining aesthetic elegance with functional strength.

In a nod to this timeless design, Gefinor Rotana has reimagined the Lebanese arch in a contemporary context. Rather than replicating the full trio of arches, the hotel’s residence building rooms feature single arches elegantly framing the balcony doors.

This subtle architectural gesture connects our modern living spaces to Beirut’s architectural soul, allowing guests to experience a piece of local tradition while enjoying the comforts of modern hospitality.

The result is a perfect harmony of past and present, a reminder that true design transcends time, and that heritage continues to inspire the spaces where we gather, rest, and create memories.
