Grand Hotel Kassouf, Dhour El Choueir, Lebanon - A Blast from the Past Step back in time to the 1950s and experience the elegance and charm of the Grand Hotel Kassouf in Dhour El Choueir, Lebanon. Nestled in the heart of Mount Lebanon, Dhour El Choueir, translating to 'summit of the oak trees,' is one of Lebanon's most cherished summer resorts. The Grand Hotel Kassouf, with its imposing facade and manicured gardens, was a beacon of luxury and sophistication during this era. The hotel's grandeur is evident in this photograph, with its guests lounging in the sun, enjoying the picturesque views of the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Sadly, the tranquility of this idyllic scene was shattered during the Lebanese Civil War in the seventies and eighties, leaving the once grand hotel in ruins. Today, the Grand Hotel Kassouf stands as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when Lebanon was a popular tourist destination, known for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant culture. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Lebanon and its beloved resorts. It is a testament to the country's resilience and its ability to bounce back from even the most challenging times. The Grand Hotel Kassouf may no longer be in its former glory, but its legacy lives on, inspiring a sense of nostalgia and wonder in all who see it.
