Tucked away in one of Beirut’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, Beit El Laffe (Instagram) is more than a guesthouse, it’s a state of mind. A cross between a boho-chic retreat and a wellbeing hub, it welcomes modern travellers, digital nomads, and Beiruti locals searching for a deeper sense of home in the city’s ever-pulsing rhythm.
The space brings together the warmth of Lebanese hospitality and the free-spirited aesthetic of slow living. Across two floors, three guest suites unfold into inviting co-living areas and a garden that feels like an oasis of calm, a place to reconnect, create, and simply be.
At Beit El Laffe, design is more than décor, it’s storytelling. Each corner speaks to a philosophy of cultural harmony and artistic exploration. From woven textiles and handcrafted ceramics to statement furniture and art, the interiors are a dialogue between Lebanon and the wider region.
Pieces sourced from Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, and India merge into a seamless mosaic of influences. The result is a space where design and art coexist effortlessly, where every detail carries the trace of a craftsman’s hand and every object invites a conversation.
More than a place to stay, Beit El Laffe is a meeting point. The guesthouse hosts a calendar of workshops, cultural events, talks, and private dining experiences, each designed to foster connection and creativity. Whether it’s a food performance in the garden, a design talk in one of the communal lounges, or a shared breakfast between travellers and locals, the house encourages authentic encounters in a city built on them.
The artisanal corner shop adds another layer to the experience, gathering pieces from emerging and established designers across Lebanon and the region. It’s a celebration of craft, collaboration, and conscious consumption, a love letter to the handmade.
“Through these healthy spaces and activities, we’re redefining how to live well away from home, in a city where meeting and interacting with people is key to an authentic travel experience,” says the team behind Beit El Laffe.
It’s this ethos that makes Beit El Laffe special: the way it blends Beirut’s chaotic beauty with a sense of calm, turning everyday moments into acts of artful living. For those who crave inspiration, connection, and creativity, this is home.
