Your home away from home

Welcome to

Nestled in the heart of Beirut, Bhub is a place that embodies resilience and rebirth. Our story is one of hope and determination. Located just a few minutes' walk from the iconic Beirut Port, which has become a symbol of both tragedy and resilience, Bhub stands as a testament to the strength of the Lebanese people.

Our guesthouse, housed within a meticulously restored heritage building, is a phoenix risen from the ashes. It was completely destroyed in the devastating Beirut Port Explosion. But from the rubble emerged a remarkable tale of solidarity. The Lebanese diaspora, immigrants, numerous NGOs, and the steadfast support of Masharii Group (www.masharii.com) came together to rebuild what is now Bhub.

As you step inside, you'll feel the echoes of history in every corner. Our graceful arched windows and traditional mosaic tiles reflect our unwavering commitment to preserving Lebanese architecture.

Bhub is not just a guesthouse; it's a living testament to the indomitable spirit of Beirut. It's a place where old-world charm meets contemporary luxury. Our guesthouse spans two floors, each revealing thoughtfully designed bedrooms surrounding the “Dar” (or ‘Hub’ in English).

Situated in a building that's more than a century old, Bhub has witnessed the many chapters of Beirut's history. It occupies a location with historical significance as it once stood on a demarcation line during the 1975 civil war, separating West and East Beirut. Today, it stands as a symbol of unity, marking the boundary where the vibrant Mar Mikhael and Gemmayze neighborhoods converge. Its proximity to the iconic Beirut Port adds another layer of cultural significance.

Bhub invites you to savor tradition in a modern setting, where every corner tells a story of resilience, hope, and the enduring spirit of Beirut.

THE 2020 BEIRUT EXPLOSION

218 people are killed and thousands hurt as 'welder' at Beirut port sparks fire near warehouse where 2,700 TONS of highly explosive chemical 'seized from a ship' were being stored detonating blast the size of a small nuclear bomb

One of the world's biggest-ever peacetime explosions tore through the port in Beirut last night, killing at least 100 people, injuring thousands more and laying waste to a large part of the Lebanese capital.

More than 2,750 tons of highly explosive ammonium nitrate, the main ingredient in fertilizer bombs, detonated when a fire apparently sparked by a welder spread to the warehouse where it had been stored for six years.

Apocalyptic scenes saw a thick red-orange mushroom cloud envelop streets surrounding the port, where buildings burned and emergency crews frantically searched the rubble for survivors.
