LOCATION:
In the throbbing heart of Brazil St., Zahle, 54 Km from the capital
Beirut, Grand Hotel Kadri is a five stars hotel situated on the
famous Berdawni river.
A 40-minute drive from the ancient Roman ruins of Baalbeck, Anjar
and many others, the Hotel is conveniently located a minute walk
from downtown Zahle and from Bardouni restaurants a name synonymous
with Lebanon's famous mezze and the delights of outdoor dining.
The Bardouni restaurant tradition began over a hundred years ago
with a few simple riverside cafes. Today it is a virtual bazaar
of tree-shaded eating places known as "casinos," every
one more inviting than the next. Not surprisingly, competition
is fierce, so each establishment outdoes itself with fountains,
pools, and cooling shade to tempt potential customers.
Here you can enjoy the traditional Lebanese mezze as it is served
nowhere else. To add to the sense of timelessness, delicious mountain
bread is baked before your eyes and a man in baggy trousers and
fez is on hand to pour Lebanese coffee. He can also provide diners
with a Hubble-bubble (water pipe).
ROOM ACCOMMODATIONS
Further amenities include conference
rooms, a business centre, baby-sitting on request, a beauty salon,
health club and tennis court. BL 03/03. This hotel is an historic
landmark in Lebanon. It holds memories from many historic leaders

Cazas in 1920 by General Gouraud. Throughout its history this

during the war, it was renovated to its original splendour and
more by the owner and was inaugurated by His Excellency President
