Constructed between 1971 and 1974 during Beirut’s economic boom, it was a top tourist destination in the Middle East. The hotel operated until the Lebanese civil war began in 1975, after which it became a “war zone” during the “Battle of the Hotels,” where over 25,000 combatants fought for control of luxury hotels, including the Holiday Inn and the famous Phoenicia hotel. Decades later, the hotel remains untouched, abandoned, and empty, serving as a poignant reminder of the war’s horrors to the Lebanese people.

Damaged during the Civil War, the mosque was fully restored in 2004.
