Fridge, stove, oven and cookware — prepare real meals instead of relying on room service or restaurants every night.

In-unit laundry, included. Ideal for families, longer stays, or anyone who'd rather not live out of a suitcase.

Private Entrance

Come and go on your own schedule — this is your apartment, not a shared hotel lobby.

Living & Dining Space

Room to actually relax — a separate living area, not just a bed pushed against a wall.

Free Wi-Fi

Fast, reliable connection throughout, whether you're here to work or just stay in touch.

Flexible Stays

25 apartments across Studio, 1-Bedroom, and 2-Bedroom layouts — comfortable for a weekend or a month, with discounted rates for longer stays.

Staying a week or longer? Ask about our discounted long-term rates — Berdawny Apartments works as well for a month-long stay as it does for a weekend, without the price of a full nightly hotel rate every night.

Explore Zahlé

The city of wine and poetry, right outside your door.

Zahlé is Lebanon's third-largest city and the capital of the Bekaa Valley — known for its riverside restaurants, centuries-old wineries, and a nightlife scene most visitors never expect to find outside Beirut. Everything below is a short walk or a quick drive from the apartment.

Entrance archway to the Berdawni promenade in Zahlé at night, with cafés and shops

Start at the Berdawni.

The Berdawni promenade, known locally as Wadi el Arayech, is Zahlé's signature stretch — about 300 meters of riverside restaurants, cafés, and shaded walkways five minutes on foot from the apartment. It's the natural first stop for any stay here, day or night.

From there, the old town's Ottoman-era souks, the hilltop shrine of Our Lady of Zahlé, and the Bekaa Valley's wine country are all within easy reach — most without needing a car.

Our top picks: the Berdawni riverside terraces for dinner, a wine tasting at Château Ksara's 2km limestone cellars, and the panoramic view from Our Lady of Zahlé at sunset. All three are within a 15-minute drive or less.
