A contentious empire: Pan Am, Intercontinental, and Hotel Phoenicia in Beirut
Greenlit in 1956, opened in 1961, Hotel Phoenicia in Beirut marked the arrival of the United States to the Lebanese hotel industry.

Surprisingly, French colonial officials allowed for these types of groups to grow. So long as clubs were not ‘political’ they could exist. Using the extensiv…
