Zanzoun · The place
While the older residences of Beirut are often evoked with nostalgia, there remain a few hidden pearls scattered across Beirut, waiting to be discovered. Zanzoun is one such example; a haven in the heart of Mar Mikhael. Walking into its garden is an encounter with the Beirut of the past. The quietude of an unexpected courtyard, stairs that reveal a jewel so delicately restored, it appears that light itself seeks refuge behind its archways.
Zanzoun · Zeina
Zanzoun is named after its host, Zeina, who is a lover of the Orient. She lives her life a traveller between Beirut’s Mediterranean shores and the Nile’s riverbanks, drawing constant inspiration from both places. In her Beirut residence, she celebrates the Levant with carefully chosen decorations, every detail and material coming together in perfect harmony.
Zanzoun · The atmosphere
Zanzoun comprises three private bedrooms and a shaded courtyard that has become a rarity (and carefully guarded secret) in Beirut’s ever-changing cityscape. The home is an ode to the Orient, decorated with warm colours and artisanal fabrics that come to life in storyteller fashion.
