Bkerzay is an eco-friendly conservation
project which preserves and promotes the best features of its surroundings: the
people, the food, the crafts, the traditions, and nature.
Established in 2010 as a pottery studio, it
has grown into a 30-room hotel featuring a restaurant, a spa, two swimming
pools, a shop that sells local products, a hiking trail, as well as multiple
spaces for special events. It is an economically sustainable platform which
creates job opportunities for a rural community and offers experiences to urban
dwellers. All while preserving natural habitats and the trees, the guest homes
are sculpted into the landscape. They were arduously built by the hands of
local stonemasons using traditional techniques that have been around for
centuries. The interiors are furnished with upcycled vintage furniture.
In 2018, Bkerzay was the first hospitality
project to receive a BREEAM or LEED with one of the highest ratings in Lebanon.
It also won the Lebanon Opportunities Hospitality
Project of the Year Award. And in 2020, Bkerzay remains among
the top 10% hotels recommended worldwide by TripAdvisor, winning the
TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice 2020.
