A restored hilltop château above Jounieh Bay
Château Rweiss stands on a hillside at Chnaniir in the Keserwan district of Mount Lebanon, with a view down to Jounieh Bay. The building was restored from around 2002 under Rafic Abi Nasr and renovated again in 2008, and it has since become one of the best known wedding venues in the country, taking the DWP Ace Award for Wedding Property of the Year.
The estate is set up for the large, formal celebrations that Lebanese weddings tend to be. There are indoor halls and a landscaped outdoor space known as the Eden Garden, and the setting allows ceremonies, dinner and dancing to move between terrace, garden and ballroom over the course of a single evening. Real weddings held here have ranged from a clock-themed fairy-tale design to a French garden scheme, which shows how far the spaces can be restyled to a couple's taste.
