The Carpet Swimming Pool at Mir Amin Palace

December 4, 2009
by Corinne Mossati

The outdoor swimming pool at the Mir Amin Palace hotel is famous for its unique mosaic carpet. Located just a few minutes drive from the historic Beiteddine Palace in Lebanon’s Chouf mountains, the hotel dates back to the 19th century when it was the residence of the Emirs.

Renovated into a five star hotel, it is set amidst beautiful courtyards, running fountains and stone architecture.

After a comprehensive tour of Beiteddine Palace, we veered towards the hotel to take a peek at the bottom of the intricately-designed swimming pool.
