InterContinental Phoenicia Beirut is a luxury hotel in Minet El Hosn (Ain El Mreisseh waterfront), Beirut, at Minet El Hosn, Phoenicia Street, Beirut. Landmark 1961 tower reopened in October 2022.
InterContinental Phoenicia Beirut is the city's best-known waterfront grand hotel, on Minet El Hosn between Ain El Mreisseh and the Zaitunay Bay marina. The original tower opened in 1961, and the hotel reopened on 3 October 2022 after the repairs that followed the 2020 port explosion.
Listings disagree on its size: the Wikipedia article cites 193 rooms in the original tower, while older meeting-venue listings give 446 rooms across 32 floors, so the room total should be treated as unconfirmed. Public areas include several restaurants, a swimming pool and SPA Phoenicia, and the main entrance faces the Mediterranean with views over the marina and the Corniche.
The location suits visitors who want to walk to the Corniche, Zaitunay Bay and the Downtown area while staying in a full-service property with a taxi rank at the door. Rates are estimates and rise in the summer and diaspora holiday season (July, August and the weeks around Christmas). The phone number listed by directories is +961 1 369100.
