Our guesthouse stands on the historic ground of the original Mar Mikhael train station, a place that once connected all of Lebanon. Our story began with a dream to revive that spirit of unity and journey. We transformed this landmark into 961 Station as a tribute to Lebanon’s rich heritage, where each apartment is a love letter to a different Lebanese city—from the coastal charm of Sour to the historic heart of Anjar. It’s a place born from a passion to share the diverse culture of our country, creating a miniature Lebanon for our guests to explore.
Nestled in a quiet part of the vibrant heart of Mar Mikhael, 961 Station offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, with all main attractions just a short walk or drive away. Here, your stay becomes a unique journey through Lebanon without ever leaving the building. Each of our themed apartments provides an immersive experience, capturing the distinct character of a different Lebanese region. Imagine waking up to the vibe of Jounieh or Tripoli, all while enjoying modern luxuries like a 50-inch Smart TV, high-speed WiFi, and a private balcony. Our concept blends authentic local storytelling with five-star comfort, offering a culturally rich stay where every detail is designed to make your visit unforgettable.
