The Bzommar Palace Hotel is a tribute to the country’s enduring natural beauty. Through a visionary multi-million dollar restoration, we have transformed this landmark into a premier four-star destination that seamlessly bridges the gap between history and innovation.
We believe that luxury shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. By integrating modern architecture and the latest hospitality technologies into our historical site, we’ve created a space that is as ecologically conscious as it is comfortable.
Perched above the Bay of Jounieh, Bzommar Palace was built in 1956 as a sanctuary of stone, light, and silence. Decades later, it remains what it has always been, a place apart.
A LETTER FROM THE FAMILY
"We do not manage a hotel so much as tend to a house that has always known how to welcome."
1956
Established in 1956, the hotel was built to mirror the grandeur of the nearby Armenian Patriarchate. It featured the classic stone craftsmanship that defined the era’s elite mountain retreats.
1960
The hotel was a central part of Lebanon’s booming tourism sector. It hosted international dignitaries and intellectuals who were drawn to its proximity to Harissa and the Jeita Grotto.
1975
While the tourism industry faced immense pressure during the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), the hotel remained a symbol of stability in the Keserwan region, maintaining its vintage charm and ecological integrity while many other landmarks fell into disrepair.
1996
The late 90s saw the first phases of upgrading the hotel’s infrastructure to meet evolving international safety and service standards while carefully protecting the ancient pine groves.
2026
By 2026, the hotel has fully embraced the Modern Heritage aesthetic. This includes the integration of the latest technologies such as a digital concierge system, responsive guest interfaces, and ecologically sound energy solutions.
