A relaxing day around the pool at the St Georges Yacht Club. It is a French colonial hotel built in 1932 and expanded in the 1950's. It was once the most luxurious hotel in Beirut but the hotel was destroyed in the civil war and remained a ruin for 30 years. It was finally being restored in 2005 when Rafik Hariri was killed in a bombing in front of the hotel. The bombing destroyed the hotel again! Love this place as the pool is surrounded by not only the bombed out St George but can see the still gutted Holiday Inn behind the new Phoencian Hotel. Love it.
