Glass Studio for Le Gray, Beirut
Le Gray hotel opened in 2009 in the heart of Beirut and quickly established itself as one of the most stylish spots in town, thanks to its sleek and modern interior and trendy crowd. Beirut’s first designer hotel is located in a building designed by architect Kevin Dash with a circular atrium and features a collection of 540 contemporary art pieces from around the world that give edginess and freshness to the space. Decorated in a palette of whites and grey, the interior is full of light and creates inviting atmosphere for hotel’s guests and visitors.
Le Gray offers three restaurants, two bars (all located on the rooftop around the atrium) and a cafe. From fine dining at Indigo on the Roof to trendy Cherry on Top lounge, Le Gray offers a good mix of entertainment for Beirut’s visitors.
Glass Studio collaborated with hotel’s team in creating dinnerware pieces that match hotel’s interior and highlight its contemporary style.
