To host a business conference in Jounieh, choose a venue with a dedicated meeting room, reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, AV support, in-house catering and on-site accommodation. Al Murjan Palace Hotel offers all of these 16 km north of Beirut, with a conference room seating up to 24 and larger spaces for up to 250 guests.
Jounieh has become a practical alternative to central Beirut for corporate events: it is close enough for a day trip from the capital, but far enough to avoid city-centre traffic and parking costs. Here is how to plan one properly.
Start with the room, not the hotel
Match the space to the format. A board meeting or training session for up to 24 people needs a single focused room with power at every seat. A conference with breakout sessions needs a main room plus overflow space. At Al Murjan Palace, the conference room handles the first, while the banquet hall (up to 250) and rooftop lounge (up to 130) cover larger formats and networking.
Check the connectivity and AV before you book
Ask specifically about Wi-Fi capacity rather than whether Wi-Fi exists — thirty delegates streaming simultaneously is a different requirement from a hotel lobby. Confirm screen or projector availability, microphones for larger rooms, and whether technical support is on site during the event.
Keep catering and accommodation on one site
The biggest hidden cost in conference planning is movement. Delegates who leave the building for lunch return late. On-site catering (Lebanese, Italian and international) and on-site rooms remove that problem entirely, and let out-of-town attendees stay where they are meeting.
Budget for the practical details
Free private parking matters more than it sounds for a corporate audience arriving by car. A 24-hour front desk covers late arrivals from evening flights. Both are included at Al Murjan Palace.
