One of the hottest destinations of the year continues to garner press attention. With trendy nightlife, cutting-edge art galleries and beautiful beaches, Beirut's allure as an urban hot spot on the Mediterranean coast is unmistakable. Recently singled out by Daily Candy in "The 'Rut Is on Fire," the cosmopolitan Lebanese capital "has something for everyone." Recommended lodgings while in town? Le Gray, the talked-about boutique from hotelier Gordon Campbell Gray whose stylish hotel collection includes One Aldwych in London and Carlisle Bay in Antigua:

For sleek, contemporary lodgings, book a room at the newly opened Le Gray, located in the downtown district. Split your time between the state-of-the-art spa, rooftop pool, and circular-shaped Bar ThreeSixty with views of the sea.

Featured on Travel + Leisure's "It List 2010," Le Gray has plenty of wow factors-- from the panoramic views of the Med and Mount Lebanon from the rooftop pool and restaurant to the tricked-out bedrooms.
