The first hotel of Byblos · Since 1963
Twenty-four rooms on the seafront, steps from the harbour and the old souks, with a balcony for the sunset and the beach right below. Family-run for three generations.
When Ahiram opened its doors in 1963, it was the very first hotel in Byblos. Travellers came for the old harbour and the Phoenician ruins, and stayed for the view. Six decades on, the same family still runs the front desk, still serves breakfast over the water, and still knows the regulars by name.
Not much has changed about what matters here: a warm welcome, a clean and comfortable room, and a balcony that looks straight at the Mediterranean. The castle, the souks and the fishing port are all a few minutes' walk from the door.

The room our guests come back for. Open the balcony doors to the Mediterranean and watch the sun drop straight into the sea.
Byblos has been lived in for more than seven thousand years. From the hotel you can walk to a Phoenician temple, a Crusader castle and a working fishing harbour, then come back to the terrace for the sunset. Everything worth seeing is within a few minutes on foot.
The light off the water in Byblos is the kind people travel for. Here is a look at the rooms, the terrace and the view.
“We opened the balcony doors and the sea was right there. Watched the sun go down with a glass of wine and did not want to leave. The family who run it could not have been kinder.”

“The location is unbeatable. Five minutes to the souks and the castle, and a real beach right below the hotel. Breakfast on the terrace every morning was the best part of the trip.”
Khalil A.

“A simple, honest hotel with the most beautiful view in Byblos. We have stayed three times now and it feels like coming back to old friends.”
