Some are nostalgic about the glamorous dinners held at its rotating restaurant on the top floor during the heydeys of the Lebanese capital in the 1970s, others remember this tall building being a snipers' nest during the capital's fierce armed battles that left the hotel completely ravaged. And nobody seems to decide what to do with it, 27 years after the end of the war. . . #architecture #design #travel #art #photography #streetphotography #beyrouth #liban #libano #lebanon #voyage #heritage #building #glass #stone #cement #new #old #oldhouse #downtown #war #peace #city
