The month of July heralded the opening of Monte Cassino the luxury boutique hotel. Influenced by Italian Renaissance architecture and situated steps away from the Casino Du Liban, on the hilltop overseeing the Gulf of Jounieh, the luxury boutique hotel is a gem of the Lebanese Riviera. The proud owners the Demian family, bring the expertise of three generations of hoteliers and warm family boutique hospitality.
Monte Cassino offers twenty deluxe luxury suites, with lavish facilities including Jacuzzis. The hotel's Tulip restaurant serves refined dinning. For lighter entertainment the splendid view of the Gulf of Jounieh can be enjoyed from the rooftop lounge bar: Sway.
The owner Mr. Elie Demian said, "I realized there was a lack of luxurious accommodation in the Jounieh area, and was inspired by the view overlooking the Gulf of Jounieh. It matches the splendour of the Riviera in Italy and France, so I envisioned a Lebanese Riviera at the same standard of luxury as in Europe combining the romance of the Italians, with the refinement of the French and the dynamism of the Lebanese. Thus came Monte Cassino." He also added: "I believe the magic of boutique luxury hotels comes from the personal attention offered by the owners of such exclusive hotels and that is why my beautiful wife, my sons and I are all involved and present in the hotel. It is the unique Lebanese Riviera experience we offer."
The Monte Cassino in its style embodies the charm of a family run business with the elegance of some of the world's best boutique hotels; its location and natural views are magnificent; its restaurant is exquisite and the rooftop lounge and ambiance a pure pleasure. Monte Cassino is the destination for the sophisticated clientele with a yearning for the European Riviera experience in Lebanon.
