Beit El Tawlet: You New Rustic Escape Right In The Heart Of Beirut

Remember your teta and jeddo‘s house in the mountains? The patterned tiles, the huge armchairs, and open spaces?

This very experience has been recreated into a space right here in Beirut, called Beit el Tawlet. It’s located right above the Tawlet restaurant by Souk el Tayeb in Mar Mikhael.




As serene as your teta‘s house and just as luminous. With the colorful interior, tranquility oozes out of every corner. You’ll feel like you’ve been transported into a parallel world of serenity and peace – which is hard to say in the hustling and bustling city of Beirut.



The bold yet quiet design resembles the local art scene we have in the capital. Add to that the fresh greenery twist and the city’s skyline, you’ll have yourselves an escape that is just right around the corner.




Beit El Tawlet has four double bedrooms; two with private balconies and two with direct terrace access. A night at this charming guesthouse costs a $120 a night. As for the food, you’ll have one of Beirut’s most unique restaurants right beneath you, you boasting a plethora of traditional home-cooked meals, coffee, and refreshments. You can even learn to make kebbe and wara2 3enab in one of their cooking classes!
