Tamara Hamadeh, managing partner of Laklouk 1808, stated: ‘With over two decades of international experience in Switzerland, the USA, and Dubai, I made the choice to return to Lebanon and use my expertise in a nation at the forefront of the hospitality industry. It required surpassing 1808 milestones to achieve my long-held aspiration.’’
Chahnaz Abdallah Bohsali, owner and managing partner of Laklouk 1808, added: ” Despite the option to sell our house and leave Lebanon, our emotional bond with this land prevailed, leading us to transform our home into a guesthouse. We maintained the original furnishings, including carpets, paintings, and decorative items, in order to create a welcoming atmosphere where our guests could truly feel at home away from home.”
