Albergo

I love this special hotel.. Albergo is unique, one of a kind in Lebanon. I always look forward visiting Albergo. Last week, I had a business meeting at lobby restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I was nicely greeted, service was impeccable by a new young waitress, Emma. Her smile is contagious and her passion for her job is so obvious. Emma was very nice to recommend some of the dishes we had. The scenery, the decor, the stylish modern feel and look puts me in a good mood. Highly recommended. See you again soon..

I always prefer to stay at Albergo during my short trips to Beirut. The bed there is exceptionally comfortable. However, I did not appreciate the fact that my room had a bathtub shower. The service provided by the hotel staff was truly outstanding. The food served at the rooftop restaurant was absolutely delicious.

I love Albergo Restaurant! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, with elegant decor. The food is perfect, every dish is a delight with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service is impeccable. I give Albergo a 9 out of 10. A must-visit spot!

I haven’t stayed at the hotel, but I’ve been to the restaurants several times. I’ve been there for both breakfasts and dinners. Both restaurants are wonderful. For breakfast, I usually prefer the ground floor restaurant. The coffee, juice, cakes, brioches, manoushe, fresh orange juice… everything is delicious and the place is beautiful! For dinner, I recommend the rooftop restaurant; it has great wines, and anything on the menu will be delicious. I recommend making a reservation before going.

Ambiance Shines, but the Food Falls Short :/ Hotel Albergo certainly knows how to set the stage for a memorable evening. The ambiance is inviting, with decor that effortlessly blends elegance and comfort. The service is attentive and adds to the overall experience, making you feel well taken care of from the moment you walk in. However, when it comes to the food, the experience starts to falter. While the quality of the ingredients is evident, the execution leaves much to be desired, especially considering the premium pricing. The Sliced Portobello was a highlight, earning an 8/10 for its robust flavor and perfect texture. Unfortunately, the Shrimp and Avocado dish was disappointing, with a lack of seasoning that left it bland and unmemorable, meriting only a 5/10. The Pâtes aux Trois Tomates was another strong dish, rich and satisfying, deserving of a 8/10. But then came the Escalope à la Milanaise—a $50 plate that was essentially a thin slice of breaded veal. The overwhelming taste of the breadcrumbs overshadowed the rest of the dish, making it hard to justify the steep price. This dish also scored a 5/10. In summary, while the atmosphere and service at Hotel Albergo are top-notch, the food doesn't quite live up to expectations. The ingredients are there, but the value for money is not. You'd hope for a dining experience that leaves you eager to return, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case this time around.

Dining out at Albergo a fancy, upscale hotel with many restaurants where exquisite decor and ambiance contribute to a memorable experience. Upon stepping inside this elegant restaurant, guests are immediately enveloped in a world of sophistication and style. The plush furnishings, soft lighting, and tasteful decor create a welcoming and luxurious environment that is perfect for intimate dinners or special occasions specially the backyard garden where our dinner was The attention to detail in the design contributes to a truly upscale expectation but it was not the case for this section of the restaurant the chairs were not comfortable for eating to have a satisfying comfortable dinner. but The service is impeccable, with attentive and courteous staff that cater to the needs of every guest. From the moment you are seated to the final dessert course, they ensures a seamless experience, with exquisite plating and attention to detail that reflects the care and precision put into every aspect of the meal. Despite the ambiance and exceptional service, it is in the realm of food quality that this restaurant falls short of expectations. the menu have limited dishes, the execution and flavor of the food do not always live up to the restaurant's expectation. Some dishes lack the depth of flavor or creativity specially in the salads we ordered shrimps avocado salad and salad of the day was artichoke salad I wanted more in terms of taste and overall satisfaction. The Beetroot rosacea was the best appetizer I ever had upon taking the first bite, my taste were greeted with a symphony of flavors the earthy beetroot with the creamy mascarpone cheese inside the combination of textures and flavors was perfectly balanced, creating a harmonious and memorable experience this dish was a true culinary masterpiece that showcased the artistry and skill of the chef. The pasta was great we ordered Truffle Orecchiette my complain is the past quality I was expecting an artisan pasta or a hand made one specially that the orecchiette is the easiest pasta to hand made specially that it will elevate the whole dish. The pizza was great we ordered Truffle Mascarpone, however as I continued to indulge in this culinary delight, I couldn't help but notice that the pizza lacked a certain balance I think the mascarpone cheese give it some lower level vibes, it was delicious but I felt that it could have been improved with a bit more attention to flavour. The Sautéed Shrimps was good basic. For desert we ordered fruit salad was good for it is and we ordered tiramisu was good but need more attention and sophistication to make it perfect. It was a truly classy experience with its lavish decor, attentive service, and upscale ambiance and food, however it lacks some spark and attention to details to be a great dining experience specially that you come with high expectations and this restaurant has the potential to become a destination known for its elegance and for its exceptional cuisine. But I will come again but this time will check the rooftop. Update: the second experience with albergo terrace restaurant was below average to a point that don’t deserve a detailed review.

My new favorite place. How did I not know about this hotel before? The restaurants are fantastic, the ambience is great and the food is phenomenal. I also love the bar on the 13th floor. It is truly a hidden libation oasis. I love the vintage colors, Dusty pink and green on the terrace, their landscaper is a genius, I want my terrace to look as good as that. Definitely will be back

We arrived to Albergo for some sunset drinks at the bar. As someone who has heard a lot about the venue and has been to most of the top venues in Beirut the experience was extremely underwhelming. I arrived a group of ladies from different areas of Lebanon. When they were overheard speaking about a venue in another part of Northern Lebanon, they were met with unprofessional and extremely racist looks and gestures. It is preposterous that a venue that calls itself anywhere close to being an establishment let alone a hospitality establishment can exhibit this type of behavior. The staff exhibited behavior that resembles the behavior of an intoxicated person. Arrogant racist and incredibly negative behavior was exhibited by two members of the staff during our short stay. We had 3 other existing reservations for the summer that we subsequently canceled. I will go out of my way to inform my entire network of social and professional associates of this establishment’s failure to adhere to the most rudimentary of guidelines and procedures that one would expect. The first experience of this kind I have seen anywhere in Lebanon from street food to supposed “luxury establishments”. If you care for the quality of your stay or dining experience or if you expect service that is in tune to Lebanon’s record of hospitality or basic standards steer clear.
