That price includes the night in the Presidential Suite? Or just a deluxe room?

Haven't been back there since I was entertained by the nice chaps from Lloyds TSB who took me to that underground retaurant jobby with the fishtank for a wall - and they served a wine at around 800 quid a bottle - which turned out to be corked.

All credit to them, they replaced it without a quibble.

They lost money that night.............

Have you been there before? I would like to go there as well, but I can't find much info about the skiing season in Lebanon and the best locations (There's more about the Iran one.. where I want to go one day as well actually).
