On Abi al-Fida Street

Two doors, a few steps apart

Step out through the hotel's stone gate, and Orontes Restaurant is right beside it, in a building of its own. Breakfast is a few steps away in the morning, and so is dinner after a day in Hama.

The two share one name: Orontes, the ancient name of the Asi, the river that turns Hama's norias close by.
