Beit Ramza
A 17th century Damascene home, returned to its former glory.
Six rooms. Infinite stillness. In the heart of the Old City.
Est. 17th Century
The House Remembers
Beit Ramza is a luxury 5-Star boutique hotel in the heart of the Old City of Damascus. This 17th century Damascene home was beautifully restored over several years and opened its doors as a sanctuary of six rooms — each immaculately decorated with authentic Syrian furnishings, each carrying the weight and warmth of four centuries.
Named in honor of Ramza Elian — the last mother of the household — the hotel was reclaimed by a family member who refused to let her childhood home fade into ruin. Over three patient years, every stone was restored, every artifact recovered from the dealers who had once purchased them at desperate prices.
Six Rooms · One Garden · Four Courtyard · One Suite
Accommodations
The Ramza Suite
In honor of the last mother
Named for Ramza Elian herself, this suite features an inlaid wooden mashrabiya screen and the finest copperwork. The room where memory and comfort converge.
The Courtyard Rooms
Opening onto the fountain
Four rooms, each steps from the central courtyard, carrying the quiet sound of water. Traditional textiles drape the walls — each thread a sentence in a longer story.
The Garden Room
Overlooking the inner gardens
A singular, intimate retreat where the scent of jasmine enters through stone-framed windows. A brass key on the bedside table connects you to centuries past.
The Living History
Four Centuries of History
Beit Ramza has been inhabited by the Elian family since the 17th century. When the eldest son began selling rooms to finance his debts, six families came to share a home built for one. The house, once a monument to Damascene grace, fell into decades of neglect.
On a journey from Lebanon, a daughter of the family returned to find her childhood home unrecognizable. She purchased it back, room by room, from the families who then resided there — and over three patient years, she restored every stone, every arch, every carved threshold.
The Elian family tree graces the courtyard as an homage to these roots.
