I will never forget that hotel or Syria - both magical experiences.
This. You captured what I was reflecting on much more eloquently. I saw the article another person posted “heaven on the edge of hell” quite a statement (unfortunately not hyperbolic). The only other Four Seasons that reminds me a bit of the Damascus legend is FS Cairo at First Residence.
