Beit al Batroun

Nestled in a little valley overlooking the Mediterranean near the town of Thoum, Beit al Batroun Bed & Breakfast is a haven of peace, a countryside retreat on the Lebanese sea coast—and only a 40-minute drive from Beirut.

Beit al Batroun is a labour of love for owner Colette Kahil, who brought to life a dream 10 years in the making. Working alongside architect friend Wadih Chehaybar, Colette drew up a house influenced by traditional Lebanese rural constructions, with rooms and sitting spaces articulated around a spacious central liwan.
Built using upcycled materials collected for years from around the world, including doors, beams, tiles, and a myriad of furniture, Colette’s interior design relies on an intuitive marriage of restored vintage pieces, innovative design ideas, and hand crafts – Colette is herself a mosaicist.

Beit al Batroun Bed & Breakfast opened its doors in July 2013 and has since seen fully-booked weekends throughout the summer months. Colette continuously receives accolades for the setting she has created and the cozy comfort offered by her boutique retreat, with rave reviews by guests and press alike—Beit al Batroun has been featured in Monocle, Harper’s Bazaar, Le Monde, Vogue, DECO, Evening Standard Magazine, ARTE and Aïshti Magazine among others.

Colette hosts up to 5 double bedrooms every year between April and November, with a freshly-prepared breakfast buffet every morning using local produce, and dinners and cocktails served on the terrace in the evenings.

“Amazing natural artistic Lebanese home! We felt as we were part of the family. Not some strange clients... It was a travel back to the roots...”

“This is Beit al Batroun, a stunning boutique bed-and-breakfast just three minutes from the Mediterranean coast where the loudest sound to puncture the calm is the irregular, grunting breathing of my French bulldog host.”

“There are places in Lebanon that inspire me, as well as people who remind me that Lebanon is a beautiful country we should not give up on. [...] One such person is the lovely Colette Kahil and one such unique place is Beit Al Batroun.”
