Radisson Hotel Group expands its presence in Lebanon by signing Radisson Mountain Resort Faqra

Radisson Hotel Group announces the signing of Radisson Mountain Resort Faqra, Lebanon. Set to welcome guests in 2027, this new resort marks the Group’s first Radisson-branded property in Lebanon.

The Group currently operates two hotels in Lebanon, both located in Beirut. The addition of this new resort underscores the Group’s commitment to expanding its presence in the region and its resort offering while also offering exceptional hospitality experiences throughout its ten leading hotel brands.

Located next to the Roman ruins of Faqra and near the country’s largest and most popular ski resort in Mzaar/Faraya in the picturesque Mount Lebanon region, Radisson Mountain Resort Faqra sits at an altitude of 1,500m. It will offer guests breathtaking views of Mount Lebanon and a plethora of winter and summer activities.

With over 60 rooms and serviced apartments, including five junior and five suites, the resort is designed to cater to leisure travelers seeking adventure and relaxation.

The resort will feature a range of amenities, including a gym, salon, and jacuzzi, as well as an all-day dining restaurant with an outdoor terrace, to name a few, ensuring guests have everything they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Situated an hour’s drive from Beirut, Faqra has become in recent years a high-end destination and a luxury retreat, known for its scenic landscapes, historic ruins, dining, nightlife options and skiing opportunities at the Mzaar Kfardebian ski resort. The resort itself is only 3 kilometers from the ski slopes, which feature drag lifts, chairlifts, and ski tows, and are situated at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 meters.

In addition to winter sports, the region offers numerous summer activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, and ATV/4x4 drives.

Elie Milky, Vice President Development, Middle East & North-East Africa, Greece, Cyprus and Pakistan, Radisson Hotel Group, commented; “I am pleased to expand our presence in Lebanon with the signing of Radisson Mountain Resort Faqra. This new resort in the high-end mountain destination of Faqra is a testament to our commitment to growing our footprint in the Levant region in key locations with an expanded resort offering.

Our expansion plans in the Middle East are progressing rapidly, and Lebanon is a key part of our strategy. We are excited to add another resort to our portfolio and to bring the Radisson brand to historic and picturesque Mount Lebanon.”

Radisson Mountain Resort Faqra joins Radisson Hotel Group’s portfolio in the Middle East, which currently counts almost 100 hotels and 19,000 keys in operation and under development.
