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