فندق الماجد

تحفة تاريخية

In the heart of modern Damascus, a few steps from Yusuf al-Azma Square, Al Majed Hotel is the flagship of the Al Majed family of hotels. The lobby opens with Damascene arches and mosaic work, then gives way to bright, contemporary rooms — singles, doubles, twins, triples, and suites with a separate living room for families travelling together. Mornings begin on the terrace with a full Shami breakfast buffet, included with every stay. Evenings often end there too, over tea, with the sound of the oud drifting up from the restaurant below. The location does the rest. Souq al-Hamidiyah, the Umayyad Mosque and the Sayyida Ruqayya Shrine are a short walk away, and Souq Saruja — the quarter Damascenes call "Little Istanbul" — starts just behind the hotel. Fibre Wi-Fi throughout, 24-hour reception and room service, free parking, and a team that receives guests the way Damascus always has: as people it had been expecting.
