Offering a classic take on luxury, each bedroom provides a seating area, a pillow menu and a marble bathroom, with suites equipped with separate living areas and access to an executive lounge. In addition to eating and drinking options at Via Appia Restaurant, the sports bar and Le Cafe Lounge and Terrace, there’s the Kempi Spa, a billiards room, eight bowling lanes, a heated outdoor pool, parking and a playground.

Found in the district of Abdoun, the St Regis has 258 bedrooms, suites, and serviced apartments, all with the benefit of butler service. While it’s part of an international chain, the property places a strong focus on local culture, showcasing artworks from across the Levant region. The dining options also reflect this, with Middle Eastern as well as Asian fusion and European eateries — whether you stay here or elsewhere, do have a meal at Segreta; set in a secret garden, it’s a beautiful oasis. Once you’ve indulged your sense of taste, cater for your sense of touch and smell, with a custom treatment package at the sleek Iridium Spa.

In a leafy, hilltop district, the Four Seasons offers guests its signature elegance and a Forbes Five-Star rating.

Brunch at Olea, lunch al fresco at the Five Grill, take a traditional afternoon tea in the Foyer Lounge, dine on French classics at la Capitale and sip cocktails at Stirr.
