We stayed at The Key for 5 nights on our first visit to Beirut, and enjoyed every second. We had a deluxe one-bedroom apartment with balcony that was in excellent condition. The hotel's housekeeping standards are very high; our room was spotless, as were the lobby, bar, and all other public areas.
The hotel is a short taxi ride from downtown Beirut and the airport. The hotel provides a free car shuttle service on a first come, first served basis and the drivers, Paul & Mark, are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, as were all the staff I met at the hotel. We took advantage of the shuttle service each day to start us off on our exploration of this amazing city. Taxis in Beirut (identified by red number plates) are plentiful and affordable. Uber also operates in the city, so it's easy to get around.
The hotel also has a small grocery store, which came in very handy to stock up on basic supplies. The bottled water and local beer were very reasonably priced.
One of the hotel's big pluses is that it is 100% smoke free, one of the reasons we chose to book. We enjoyed our stay so much that the Key will be our first choice when visiting the Lebanon in the future, which we hope to do very soon.
