How to find the hotel entrance
Orontes Hotel faces Abi al-Fida Street, opposite the Artists' Syndicate. Look for a tall façade of pale limestone set with dark basalt blocks, and in it a deep stone arch hung with lanterns.
Inside the arch, the name of the restaurant and hotel runs in black-and-white mosaic above a studded metal door. Two steps lead up to it between potted plants, and the entrance hall lies just behind.
Orontes Restaurant is right next door, in its own building.
