Stay near the Jounieh coastal motorway for the best balance of access and views — close to the Teleferique, Old Souk and Casino du Liban, and about 25–30 minutes from Beirut. Al Murjan Palace Hotel sits on this stretch, in Haret Sakhr near Pasteur Hospital.
Jounieh’s geography in one paragraph
Jounieh runs along a bay with the coastal motorway threading through it and the mountains rising immediately behind. Staying on the motorway side gives fast access in both directions; staying higher up gives views but adds driving.
What is within reach
The Jounieh Teleferique to Harissa, the Old Souk near the seafront, Casino du Liban just outside town, and Jeita Grotto about 20 minutes away. Beirut is 16 km south.
What to look for in a hotel here
Free parking (most visitors drive), a 24-hour front desk, and either a pool or a rooftop — Jounieh evenings are the point of being here.
Getting around
A car is the practical choice. Taxis and ride-hailing work for single trips, but distances between the Teleferique, souk and beach clubs make a car easier.
