EIRUT: It's the month of love and those with a special someone are gearing up for Valentine's Day, which falls Feb. 14, a holiday as nerve-wracking as it can be blissful.
To avoid Valentine's-induced bickering, The Daily Star has put together a list of events taking place in and around the capital on the special day. Instead of opting for the cliché of a candle-lit dinner, live music and dinner options might make for a Valentine's to remember.
Regency
Palace Hotel in Adma will host singers Yara and Fares Karam on Feb.
14. Yara's passionate and lively voice, paired with Fares' upbeat tunes
will surely provide a fun night. Entry prices start at $150 to $250 and
include an open regular bar and dinner. Make sure to make a reservation
by calling 09-854-000.
This year, Le Royal Hotels & Resorts in Dbayeh is also offering various options for couples keen on celebrating the lovers' day.
Le Royal's Pearl Ballroom will be filled with the great romantic tunes of Wael Jassar, Nader al-Atat and Naji al-Ousta on Feb. 14. Enjoy the night with a three-course menu and an open regular bar with prices starting at $175. Those interested can reserve a table by dialing 04-555-219 or 71-012-012.
For
$220, couples can enjoy a luxurious four-course menu with an open
regular bar at the hotel's Titanic Piano Bar where live music will be
played. The festivities will be held Friday and Sunday, for those who
cannot make Saturday's main event.
Options for Friday and Saturday include dinner at Le Royal's Le Jardin du Royal with a three-course menu, open regular bar, live music and violin performance for $160 per couple.
Valentine's Day can also be enjoyed with some Lebanese mezzeh, drinks, belly dancing and music with Brigitte Yaghi and Maher Chouman at Diwan Shahrayar for $180.
But those who prefer to relax rather than dance can take advantage of the Royal Spa, which comes with champagne, cake and chocolate-dipped strawberries, as well as a saxophone show by the indoor pool.
Some treatments available include a duo Turkish bath and a 25-minute royal massage for $310 or a ladies 30-minute body scrub, a 55-minute candle massage, a haircut, brushing, manicure and pedicure for $210. Men can enjoy the same deal – minus the pedicures – for $200.
Packages to spend the night at the hotel are also available.
Another
option to be considered is Le Gray Hotel's Indigo on the Roof in
Downtown Beirut. On Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, the restaurant will transform
into a delightfully charming venue with a romantic ambiance to get
couples in the mood. For $110 per person, couples can enjoy a
five-course Valentine's menu and live music. Drinks are not included. If
you're looking for a glass of champagne upon arrival and an open deluxe
wine bar, add $50 to the tab and call 01-972-000.
Hilton Beirut Habtoor Grand's Le Ciel, Up on the 31st Jazz Bar and Hilton Beirut Metropolitan Palace's Venezia in Sin al-Fil are also offering options for couples looking to celebrate Valentine's Day.
A
four-course set menu dinner with open house wine for $199 per couple at
