Amethyste Lounge opening night

Amethyste Lounge, an outdoor lounge located in Phoenicia Hotel, celebrated the finer things in life during its opening night on May 11, 2011. Celebrities, Beirut’s elite trendsetters and media alike attended the first night of a glamorous summer season.

Upon their arrival, guests were indulged in a purple world filled with candle light and enjoyed feel-good tunes played by Whisky Mist’s very own DJ, Monsieur Cedric and a live soulful performance by Elissa Boustani and ‘Jammit The Band’. A scrumptious selection of canapés and signature cocktails were also being served, giving guests a taste of the lounge’s wide range of exquisite offerings.

Lying right in the hub of the hedonistic city of Beirut at the Phoenicia Hotel, the sophisticated yet casual outdoor oasis is open daily from noon till midnight and offers an extensive list of signature cocktails, delectable international fusion cuisine and a wide variety of shishas with special blends and flavors. The moment guests set foot inside the 120-seat lounge they are met with a magical atmosphere punctuated by a contemporary oriental scheme of white drapery in a purple haze.
