The concept of Arthaus International was born from a shared passion for travel, art, architecture, design and hospitality. Our vision was a gradual, organic process, starting with the renovation of a fourteen-bedroom Victorian folly on the Thames at Maidenhead in Berkshire, followed by our flagship hotel, Arthaus Beirut, a neglected family ruin in Gemmayze, Beirut; originally lovingly restored as our family home.

Most of the properties in our portfolio have been our homes. Accrued over a lifetime, our collection is spread out in locations as diverse as Beirut, C Tyre, Havana, Megeve and Berkshire.

We aim to share the joy we have found in these beguiling destinations and offer our guests a home away from home to enjoy, surrounded by lovingly curated art collections.

Arthaus destinations are bound together by an appreciation of art and design in all its forms and an engagement with the local community. Alongside our private art collection, Arthaus also offers a cultural space in which independently curated temporary exhibitions and events take place, as well as concerts, performance art and seminars.

The Arthaus experience is highly personalised, with dedicated concierge teams offering insider knowledge of the local area and catering to the individual desires of our guests. We offer an immersive experience in each of our destinations, enough to satisfy the most exacting of travellers.

We hope our guests enjoy sharing our passions and aim to make each guest’s visit a truly unique experience.
