The jewel in the crown of Four Seasons Hotel Beirut, The Roof is set to redefine the city’s legendary nightlife scene when it claims the title of the highest lounge in town this summer.

Located on the Hotel’s 26th floor by the rooftop pool, with wraparound views of Beirut’s downtown skyline, mountains and the Mediterranean Sea stretching under a canopy of stars, the modish urban tapas lounge offers the perfect perch from which to enjoy sundowners and balmy summer evenings to the tune of the season’s hottest club tunes.

A floating oasis, the open-air lounge is designed to create a chilled out vibe, with trendy soft seating and live spun DJ music from 7:00 pm to 1:00 am Tuesday through Sunday.

Complementing the spectacular setting is a simple yet suave menu of tapas and Asian-inspired bites, ranging from crisp salads and siu mai dumplings to satays. The beverage list offers an impressive selection of classic and reinvented cocktails, and smoothies made from the freshest ingredients.

“The Roof will be this year’s talk of town and the place to see and be seen in Beirut,” says Stefan Simkovics, general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Beirut. “Those in the know who have been lucky enough to have had a sneak peak have already admitted that the venue is matchless. From the breathtaking views – 119 metres (390 feet) above sea level – to the modern, fashion-forward décor and our signature service.”

Simkovics adds, “The lounge is anything but flashy. It’s a place to relax with good company, great food and breath-taking views, and enjoy the feeling of being on top of the world.”
