Royal Tulip Achrafieh, part of the Louvre Hotels Group, has opened its doors to welcome its first guests.

Beirut’s newest luxury boutique hotel is the first five-star hotel in Lebanon under Louvre Hotels Group. The hotel is located in a strategic location in the heart of Lebanon’s capital, only minutes away from prime business and leisure attractions, conveniently close to ABC mall, Hotel Dieu hospital, and AUST University, making it the perfect destination for the business and leisure travelers alike.

The Middle East has proven to be an important market for the global expansion of Louvre Hotels, hence the branding and management of Royal Tulip Achrafieh. The owners of Royal Tulip Achrafieh expressed their strong belief in investing in Lebanon and their trust in the success of the partnership they have made to manage the hotel under the Royal Tulip Luxury Hotel brand.

On the occasion, Amine E. Moukarzel, president of Louvre Hotels Group Mena, said: “Our growth momentum in Lebanon after last year’s opening of The Golden Tulip Lili's Resort and Spa Aley, is well complimented by the Royal Tulip Achrafieh opening today, bringing our hotels portfolio to seven hotels in Lebanon, becoming the largest hotels group by the number of hotels, and aiming to open two more in the next two years.”

Royal Tulip Achrafieh is designed to meet the practical needs of a modern day traveller with its contemporary design and state-of-the-art facilities, bringing together luxurious comfort and personalised service.

Nicolas Anghelopoulos, Royal Tulip Achrafieh’s general manager, said: “We look forward to having our guests experience the luxurious, and personalised, service at Royal Tulip Achrafieh that will make their stay a memorable one. The hotel is here to cater to local and international guests, and is also the perfect place for the Lebanese diaspora.” - TradeArabia News Service
