Hotel Location and map
Located right at the main street of Bab Touma Beit Rumman Hotel was named after the owners last name Maria and Mayssa Rumman, a twin sisters who were born and raised in Damascus traveled to the United State and resided there for twenty years. They bought the house in 2004 and restored it together with great care and love, not only for the hotel but, for the city of Damascus and turned it into a beautiful boutique hotel. In the heart of the Old City with a walking distance to major attractions such as The Umayyad Mosque, John the Baptist grave, Hananyia and St. Paul Churches, and the Old Bazar Market, this cozy boutique hotel has been carefully restored to capture the life style of the ancient City of Damascus while providing its guests with a comfy and homey ambience. The traditionally-styled architect of 17th Century with its 6 bed rooms, private terraces and historical cheese and wine basement, are individually garnished with original arches, hand-made ceramic (Kishani), carved stone (Ablaq), intricate hand-painted ceilings, shell-designed doors and moucharabieh woodwork. This beautiful boutique hotel has a unique sunny petite courtyard with a centered pleasant water fountain rich with extraordinarily artistic details, where the essence of the Jasmine and Gardenia inspires you to travel back through time. Though newly launched, Beit Rumman family members are keen to make their guests enjoy their stay in, and to extend all assistance and hospitality to make their stay in unforgettable experience. We aim at keeping this place a home rather a hotel.
