In the heart of Beirut, boutique hotel Maison Dada brings together many of the influences that have shaped Lebanese brothers Mario and Marc El Dada’s world: architecture, design, art, food, hospitality and, above all, a deep connection to their city.
Opened in 2025, the hotel and its culinary spaces transform a historic 1930s building into an intimate destination where heritage meets contemporary creativity. The deeply personal project incorporates pieces from the brothers’ own art collection alongside locally crafted furniture and works by Lebanese and regional creatives.
We recently spoke with Mario and Marc about their journey, their love of art and design, the story behind Maison Dada, and their vision for creating a place that feels less like a hotel and more like a living expression of Beirut. For the full interview, head to aeworld.com. Link in our bio.
