Grand Kadri Hotel  

In the centre of Zahle, where Sannine Mountain meets the Bekaa Valley. This family-friendly conference hotel sits on the banks of the Al Berdawni river and is within walking distance of central Zahle and the famous Berdawni restaurants. Chateau Ksara is about 2 km away, Baalbeck and Anjar are drivable day trips, and Beirut and the airport are roughly a 50-minute drive.

A hundred-year-old landmark building with a refreshed interior (renovated in 2009) — old-soul bones with modern touches. Rooms are air-conditioned and well appointed, many with river views, minibars and LCD TVs; some rooms include extra in-room comforts like refrigerators and complimentary bottled water. The hotel keeps kids busy with an indoor kids' club (Kidzy), PS3/Wii consoles for teens, plus a disco, hair salon, café and lively bar.

Seasonal outdoor pool with a poolside bar, sauna and a fitness/health club set the recreational tone. Wake up to river-view mornings and take advantage of concierge services, a hairdressing salon and on-site entertainment. Free on-site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep things easy and practical.

Full conference and meeting facilities, banquet halls and presentation rooms make this a solid choice for events and business travel. Limo/town car service, concierge support and complimentary wireless internet round out the business conveniences.

Two on-site restaurants serve Lebanese and international cuisine, plus a coffee shop/café and bar/lounge for lighter bites and drinks. Buffet breakfasts are available daily (for a fee), and the hotel is steps from Berdawni’s legendary outdoor mezzeh scene. Room service and poolside snacks keep things simple when you want to stay in.
