Orient meets Occident: Five-star Hotel Le Gray opens in Beirut with protel HQ

Arabic tradition blends with western influences. Twenty years after the end of the civil war, Beirut has reclaimed its title as the Paris of the Middle East. Arts, Culture and Capitalism have transformed the Lebanese capital to a vibrant center of attraction for the international travelers. The newly opened five-star hotel, Le Gray Beirut, not only contributes to the luxurious flair of the city but also provides excellent hotel management by using protel HQ.

Campbell Gray Hotels have opened the 87-room hotel to become the city's chicest hotel located right in the centre of the newly rejuvenated shopping and entertainment district. Together with its famous and highly acclaimed five-star sisters, the Caribbean Carlisle Bay and London´s One Aldwych and Dukes, Le Gray is now part of the Campbell Gray Hotels, founded by Hotelier Gordon Campbell Gray in 1998.

To manage these luxury hotels Campbell Gray Hotels counts on protel HQ hotel management software by Dortmund´s protel hotelsoftware GmbH. The property management software protel HQ is the perfect choice for hotels who have low-bandwidth data lines and thus need to limit the data volume they share with their headquarters and other hotels. All connected hotels run their own databases and transmit all the data needed at headquarters to the central database over the internet. With the support of our Egyptian partner CiHost, our new partner IMS s.a.l. in Beirut, successfully implemented protel HQ just in time of the opening of the Le Gray.

With the opening of the Le Gray, Beirut gains an unparalleled architectonic city highlight. Located in the historic heart of downtown Beirut, the five-star hotel captivates its visitors with its avantgardistic and elegant architectural and interior details. Almost twenty years after the civil war, the Lebanese capital emerges in new splendor. The blend of western architecture alongside arabesque Ottoman buildings, as well as the excellent shopping experience, cultural wealth and lively nightlife attracts travelers from around the world.
