Beit al-Mamlouka Hotel
Beit al-Mamlouka (Arabic: بَيْت ٱلْمَمْلُوكَة, romanized: Bayt al-Mamlūkah) is a luxury boutique hotel located in the old city of Damascus, Syria. It was established in 2005 in the city's oldest borough, the Christian quarter of Bab Touma ("St. Thomas' Gate").[1][2]
The hotel is a restoration of a 17th-century Damascene house and offers 8 different rooms each named after a famous historic figure of Arab or Muslim history, like Averroes and Baybars.[3] There are original paintings and features from the 18th century, together with a mid 16th century archway and a 200-year Christian fresco.[4]
