Dar Al Achrafieh

Certain neighborhoods in Beirut are myths in their own right. Achrafieh is one of these. A stone's throw away from Gemmayze street, the Sursock Museum, Saint Nicolas Cathedral and Saint Joseph University (USJ), step out onto a balcony that has seen nearly a century of the city's history unfurl beneath it. In the heart of Beirut, Jamil invites you to stay in his Achrafieh family home, constructed in 1929. With its Art Deco furnishings and painted ceilings, it is a living piece of the city's memory, preserved by one of its most steadfast admirers.
