Beirut 1976: The Battle of the Hotels That Shaped a War
In 1976, as Lebanon's civil war spiraled, a single street in downtown Beirut became a battlefield that decided the fate of the city. The Battle of the Hotels saw militias turn luxury high-rises into sniper nests and fortresses, fighting for control of the last corridor between East and West Beirut. Lucas and Luna explore how the Holiday Inn and the Phoenicia Intercontinental became symbols of a conflict that shattered a nation. They discuss the role of the Lebanese Front, the National Movement, and the arrival of the Syrian army, and how a hotel war transformed Beirut's skyline from a tourist paradise to a war zone.
