Hotels are the same in most cities, but Beirut is not like most cities. Why stay in a regular hotel when you can be a part of the Beiruti community at Hamra Urban Gardens (HUG)?
Spacious rooms hand-built by local craftsmen with local products for rent are just one of the several pieces that make HUG different. It is also home to the largest rooftop forest in the city, and one of the most famous Lebanese cafés: Beit Em Nazih. HUG also hosts a modern gym, the Muscle Up Workshop, that combines Lebanese hospitality and the must up-to- date equipment and classes. All of these facilities are open to everyone staying at HUG.
The location is the best! Just off Beirut’s main buzz, Hamra Street, it is near two major universities including the American University of Beirut, minutes walk from major culture and arts centers, the busy shopping streets of Hamra, and Beirut’s largest cluster of restaurants, bars and theaters.
A wide variety of rooms are available from dorm beds (around $10) to suites (around $52). Prices for regular rooms are $30-$42 per night for stays of less than a week, but the longer you stay the cheaper it gets! Everyone staying at HUG has internet access, traditional Lebanese breakfast 10am -12 noon at Beit Em Nazih (3$ per person per day) and access to all the facilities mentioned above.
Rooftop pool will be closed on Mondays, and opening hours from 5pm till midnight.
The hotel is wheelchair-accessible with four wheelchair-accessible rooms, ramps all the way, two elevators and a wheelchair-accessible WC.
All our rooms are cleaned daily and our reception team is available 24/7 to assist with all your needs.
We look forward to meeting you!
Hamra Urban Gardens is wheelchair-accessible hotel with four wheelchair accessible rooms, ramps all the way, two elevators, and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. The ramps are designed in a way to escort the guests from the hotel parking lot to the rooms, with an access to all hotel amenities.
There are two types of the wheelchair-accessible room, there is the HUG King wheelchair-accessible room and the HUG Double wheelchair-accessible room. The King size room includes a king size bed with a sofa that can be used also as a sofa bed, and a large couch. On the other hand, we also offer a Double wheelchair-accessible room that includes two queen sized beds instead of one king bed, and a large couch, the Double room does not include any sofa.
Our rooms are designed with some standards that make it easier for any guest with special need to access this type of room such as:
- Bed’s height: the beds in these rooms are lower than beds in other rooms to make it easier for the guest to get in and out of their beds.
- Toilets: the toilets in these rooms are designed especially for guests with special needs as for the toilets have higher bowl than a normal toilet which makes it easier for the guest to stand up, in addition to special adjustments in the shower area to make it more and more easy for the guest to feel more comfortable.
- Closet: the closet in these types of rooms is also designed in a way that the guest can easily put or take any piece of cloth he/she wants while he/she is sitting on his wheelchair.

FACILITIES
Not just a restaurant, Em Nazih is a home away from home. Lebanese food is prepared by our lovely chef and dear mother Em Nazih whose home made style is well known and loved by Beirutis.
During the day Bayt Em Nazih offers a quiet space for study, a business meeting, or a quick lunch break. It is a self- service café, so order at the bar and stay as long as you like – a waiter won’t be bothering you every minute.
We recommend that you do not miss our Thursday, Friday and Saturday night events. Come and enjoy the best Lebanese bands and dance all night (reservations are recommended).
Open Daily: 8:00am – 4:00am
Cool off and relax at our rooftop pool, restaurant and bar. A large pool 1.5 meters deep and a children’s pool .5 meters deep are open from April to November (and in winter when conditions allow) and monitored by trained lifeguards. Sandwiches, nachos, salads, juices, cocktails and other refreshments are available day and night.
Weekly events, featuring some of Beirut’s best rock/alternative bands and DJs are always happening upstairs. Keep an eye out for posters in the elevator or just pop in and ask what’s coming up.
