Nice area, easily accessible, Le Gabriel is also an island of refinement and quietness in busy Beirut. The natural kindness of the staff is exceptional. It is a pity they do not have an open air swimming pool.

What is the point of a hotel chain if it doesn't keep up a standard of service? Sofitel is known for inconsistent quality across its network of socalled "luxury" hotels but their Beirut property is simply unacceptable. Tiny bathrooms, terrible windows that were hardly soundproof, 3 star quality bathroom amenities, 3 star quality breakfast, pathetic maintenance ( carpeting did not... More

Stayed at the Gabriel for three nights in December. Even though the décor is rather old-fashioned I really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and greet you personally.
