Beirut Terraces

Beirut Terraces is a 26-story residential tower located in the Minet el Hosn district of downtown Beirut. Designed by the architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, the building is characterized by its stacked, terrace-like structure.

The tower is situated within the downtown area. From the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your starting point within the central district.

Time Requirement

As this is a residential building viewed primarily from the exterior, allow 30 to 60 minutes to observe the architecture and the surrounding urban landscape.
