Beirut is back! And so are a few other destinations, if you ask Four Seasons, who is preparing for the January opening of their ultra-modern seafront hotel in the Lebanese capital, the first of many debuts for 2010.

The beans on this and future locations were spilled at a press event back in November, and albawaba elaborates:

Approaching 50 years of operation, with an expanding portfolio of 82 hotels in 34 countries, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts entered the region almost 10 years ago. The Four Seasons Hotel Beirut will be the group�s ninth property in the Middle East, since opening its first hotel in Egypt � the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at the First Residence.

And they aren't stopping here...

Most of the news from the event, aside from facts on the Beirut property which is so close to the harbor that it should be a cruise ship (at least that's what it remind us of in the picture above), lies in what's up next. After Beirut, Four Seasons will open the Four Seasons Hangzhou at West Lake, in a city of over 6 million southwest of Shanghai in China, followed by the opening of a Four Seasons Resort in Vail in the summer, with plenty time to prep for ski season.

But wait! There's more! These three openings only get us through the first half of 2010. The second half will be focused on the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver coming in fall, and then the Four Seasons in Marrakech in winter 2010.

Room rates will be the standard Four Seasons prices—think $375 and up per night at the Beirut property, but we're sure it'll be booked up in no time, what with all the "Beirut is back!" articles we've been seeing in travel publications lately. (wink)
