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

Washer & Dryer

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

13 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.

Studio Unit

Our Biggest Studio, With a Balcony

The largest of our studio layouts, with a full kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and a proper living space — plus a private balcony looking out over Zahlé. A complete apartment for solo travelers, couples, or business stays.

You're in the heart of Zahlé's touristic quarter, a short walk from the Berdawni promenade — the river-side stretch of open-air restaurants, cafés and bars under the plane trees that the city is known for. Bakeries, shops and the old town are all within a few minutes on foot, so the car can stay parked.

1-Bedroom Apartment

Separate Space to Settle In

A step up from the studio — a fully separate bedroom alongside a proper living and kitchen area. Ideal for couples or solo travelers who want more room to spread out.

Like all our units, it sits right in the centre of Zahlé, minutes from the Berdawni river promenade and its riverside restaurants, bars and ice-cream stalls. Shops, cafés and the city's main square are all walkable, with the wineries and Roman sites of the Bekaa a short drive away.

2-Bedroom Apartment

Room for the Whole Family

Our most requested size for families and small groups — two separate bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a shared living area that gives everyone room to breathe after a day exploring the Bekaa. One bedroom is set up with a queen bed, the other with two singles, so parents and kids each get their own door to close.

Step onto the balcony and the valley opens up in front of you — pine and poplar below, the terraced slopes of Mount Sannine rising beyond, and the lights of Zahlé spilling down the hillside at dusk. It's the kind of morning coffee that makes people stay an extra 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.

Location

Steps from the Berdawni, in the heart of Zahlé.

Central enough to walk everywhere — the river promenade, the old souk, restaurants and cafés — with your own car park right outside if you're exploring the Bekaa Valley. We sit right by the entrance to the Berdawni river in Zahlé, and our balcony units look out over the river and the surrounding mountains — the kind of view you don't get from a hotel room.
