After some 6 years of construction and complications, Gordon Campbell Gray (the man behind London’s divine One Aldwych) has finally realised his dream of bringing a chic destination hotel to one of the world’s most stimulating cities. If you read our recent feature on predictions for hot destinations in 2010, you’ll already be aware of Lebanon’s potential for stealing the march on some of the Middle East’s more predictable travel destinations, and indeed the sheer sexiness of it’s capital, “the Paris of the Middle East”, Beirut. A sophisticated counterpart to Beirut’s stylish and cosmopolitan vibe, Le Gray respects traditional local architecture and interiors whilst adding the distinct class and refinement that are a trademark of Campbell Gray’s highly polished properties. Elegant bars and restaurants with panoramic views, a 17m rooftop pool and an enviable location, Le Gray is the perfect place to enjoy the cutting-edge nightlife, fascinating history and truly unique culture that Beirut has to offer.
