"The Orient Gate Hotel The Orient Gate hotel was newly established under a new management in late 2006 and, with God's help, now excels in hospitality and service. The hotel has grown with a staff consisting of multilingual dialects and 25 rooms (doubles, twins, triples). The reception staff provides the guests with service and assistance at any time of the day or night, and a safe deposit box is available to all guests to securely store valuables. The hotel is located in the centre of Damascus (the capital) and is within walking distance of the commercial markets and many restaurants. We also boast a summery terrace where guests may enjoy watching the Qasioon landscape and the street markets, and simply relaxing with hookah (hubble-bubble), a variety of hot and cold drinks, or ice cream."
