Beit Zafran Hotel in the Old Town of Damascus, Syria

Immediately upon arrival at Beit Zafran Hotel, you will sense what distinguishes us from standard hotels. We are a quiet urban hideaway tucked in a historical neighbourhood of churches, mosques, souks (old bazaars), and restaurants. Once you step inside the home, the antiquity, charm, and sophistication are unmistakable. True to its authentic form, the 180 year-old courtyard is centred around the magnificent original fountain and harmonically designed with marble and original basaltic stone.

The “liwan” with its original wooden ceiling and stucco decoration is a seating area open to the courtyard where you can escape the heat of Damascus. Our Shai lounge, located in the old “qa’a” or reception hall with its 9-meter high-decorated ceilings, invites you to sooth yourself with a hot cup of fresh Damascene herbal tea.

Just up on the roof lies our terrace (La Veranda), a lush dining and relaxation spot with a splendid view of the Old City and Qassioun Mountain. In the winter, our chic Mooneh restaurant, located in the old vaulted “mooneh” or cellar, offers an intimate, romantic setting to enjoy a delicious meal. Relax in our spacious, elegant bedrooms fitted with elegant Syrian and European antiquities, and plush, downy bedding.

All rooms boast individual personalities - while some feature their own private terrace, others display their original hand-painted ceilings or offer a magnificent view to the courtyard. Our luxurious bathrooms fitted with soothing rain showers are also individually designed with hand-painted tiles or basalt stone to match the bedrooms’ distinct feel.

Our rooms all have flat screen TV with cable and satellite access, 24-hour room service, twice-daily housekeeping service, nightly turndown service, individual climate control, luxury bath products, mini-bar, safe and hair dryer.

Book your accommodations, complete with an exquisite breakfast, at Beit Zafran and enjoy an array of thoughtful features, including 24-hour professional and multilingual concierge service, complimentary WiFi high-speed internet access throughout the hotel, luggage stowing, laundry and ironing service, complimentary Damascene herbal tea throughout the day, airport meet-and-assist, visa handling and limousine transportation.

Escape to the intimate tranquillity of Beit Zafran. Featuring a splash of historical elegance, our hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.
