The three chalets from the lane
The brief

A small five-star hotel at 1500 metres in the Lebanese mountains, on a curved lane lined with stone houses, facing west over terraced orchards and a village below.

The hotel along the mountain lane

A suite opening to its terrace and the mountains
The corridor to the rooms
The fireside lounge
The move

Three gabled chalet volumes step along the lane, clad in dark cedar with honey glulam frames. Every room is a deep, faceted timber bay aimed west at the valley, so the view is the artwork of the room and no room looks into its neighbour. Guest suites take the upper floors; lounge, restaurant and entry court sit at the ground, with a walled courtyard and a single tree on the quiet side.
