Level 26

Four Seasons Hotel Beirut unveils highly anticipated rooftop offering guests a new year-round destination

Level 26, Four Seasons Hotel Beirut’s new rooftop pool, bar & lounge is a breathtaking experience. Guests are welcomed by a lively atmosphere with an open space filled with white colored furniture, abundant white marble, a refreshed pool and an impressively long bar. The chic bar creates a social focal point for the bustling space and features stylish white accents with a white marble stone bar top. Guests can also take in the best views the city has to offer, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Lebanese mountains, from Level 26’s outdoor patio, which is complete with both high tables and lush lounge seating.

“The entire rooftop lounge is designed to accommodate different times of use and types of events”, says Bernard Khoury, the architectural mastermind behind Level 26’s new look. “The white centerpiece bar can be enjoyed in all weather conditions. Its glass facades retract to connect with the exterior and remaining lounge area, giving guests the feeling that they are inside but also outside at the same time. All elements of the rooftop, from the floors to the pool and even the furniture pieces, are draped in marble, reflecting the sky in all its states.”

The international Pan-Asian & sushi menu created by Executive Chef Apostolus Dimou comprised of creative and shareable plates, mirrors the elegant atmosphere that radiates from Level 26 with signature dishes including Shrimp Tempura Bao Buns, Black Cod Miso and Matcha Crepe Cake. The menu is completed with an inventive list of original cocktails and mocktails carefully concocted by expert mixologists.

“Whether guests are lounging underneath the sun or the stars, enjoying sunset drinks, or ensconced in a futuristic-looking glass bar as rain pelts down, the Level 26 experience is one they can’t find elsewhere”, says Rami Sayess, Regional Vice President & General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Beirut. “We’re ready for everyone to experience this special place and give it a vibe unlike any other. Level 26 is absolutely the place to be in Beirut.”

Level 26, Pool & Lounge area is open daily from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Bar & Lounge area from 6:00 pm to 2:00 am.
