I have stayed at this property many times. It is 5 Star service all the way. This property is especially nice in the Summer months with the pool and seaside amenities. We enjoyed our Christmas stay and the Christmas brunch. Staff treat you like royalty and have been consistent in all of our visits to this property.

Added to our wedding’s magical experience
The stay at Kempinski was nothing short of amazing; we chose this hotel as the wedding night + day stay for our wedding in Lebanon and we were extremely happy with our choice. The staff were super helpful from checkin time, to room service, to laundry service, all the way until check out. During the day we utilized the pool at Kempinski which was a lot of fun, the food at the pool was a real treat after the wedding night AND the team were kind enough to help us stay for a late check-out to catch our flight later. All in all I would definitely stay at this hotel in the future, not only is the standard and service high but I also prefer the area it is located in within Beirut over the other crowded areas, it’s super close to the center (Beirut is pretty compact) so there’s no trade off.

We have stayed here many times and the amenities and service are top notch. Shout out for both Mohammad’s at lower pool bar. Excellent servers! Chalil is an outstanding bar tender and enjoy knowing he is their upon our return. Also, Hassan and Maher at upper bar. Marcel at front desk.

Good but slow service and average customer service
Room was good, staff friendly but let down by slow service. I asked for an extra body wash as it wasn’t topped up. Took 30 minutes and 3 calls. The last call the lady on the phone said you only called 10 minutes ago! Not 5 star service and for sure not Kempinski style.
