An independent republic since 1943, Lebanon is a compact country of 10,452 square kilometers with a population approaching four million.
Located at the meeting point of three continents, over the centuries Lebanon has been the crossroads of many civilizations whose traces may still be seen today.
Its countryside is a place of rocks, cedar trees and magnificent ruins that look down from the mountains to the sea; Lubnan, its Arabic name, means 'white', the colour of the mountains.
In winter, the high peaks are covered with snow, and in summer, their limestone slopes glimmer white in the distance.
Two rocky ranges traverse Lebanon parallel to the coast and are separated by the high plateau of the Beqaa Valley.
At 15 minutes drive from Beirut International Airport, Le Commodore Hotel sits right in the middle of the Hamra district business, shopping and nightlife area, on walking distance to main universities such as the well-known American university of Beirut or the American hospital of Beirut, close to all city historical sites and activity districts such as Down Town, Gemayze, Ashrafieh, Rawche and Verdun.
