CAMPBELL Gray Hotels opens its highly-anticipated first hotel in the Middle East this month in the smart Solidere area in Beirut’s fashionable downtown.
The Le Gray is all set to become the city’s choicest hotel and meeting place located right in the centre of the newly rejuvenated shopping and entertainment district.
Campbell Gray Hotels chairman Gordon Campbell Gray said: “Beirut was chosen as a destination because first of all I love the city and have felt for many years that its renaissance was imminent. It is an exciting place to live and an exciting place to visit and I feel strongly that its time has come again to be one of the most sought after and visited capitals in the world.”
The interior was created by designer Mary Fox Linton, presenting a cool, sleek and modern look from the deluxe rooms through to two presidential suites. There are 87 spacious rooms and suites, some with balconies and terraces.
The Le Gray has many special features including a stunning sixth-floor roof-top restaurant, Indigo on the Roof, with spectacular panoramic views out to the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Mount Lebanon.
There is a late night hangout Bar ThreeSixty on the seventh floor, a 17m long roof top chlorine-free swimming pool with sundeck and pool lounge, the cigar lounge offering a selection of Cuban cigars and Gordon’s Café, a vibrant all day long café. There is also a state-of-the-art gym and Pure Gray Spa offering a variety of treatments.
