History
Sofitel Beirut Le Gabriel opened in 2015 in the heart of Beirut in the Achrafieh district, bringing French luxury to Lebanon's cosmopolitan capital. The hotel's 103 rooms celebrate the cultural connection between France and Lebanon — a country that was under French Mandate from 1920 to 1943. Beirut's reputation as the 'Paris of the Middle East' makes the Sofitel brand particularly resonant. The hotel's operations have been significantly impacted by Lebanon's ongoing economic crisis and the catastrophic 2020 Beirut port explosion which damaged large parts of the city.
