The Arabic name of the hotel translates as heritage; the hotel is an authentic Aleppine building which was built over two and a half centuries ago. It has been keenly restored to display the architectural magnificence of Aleppo's heritage or 'tourath'. The ceiling of each of the hotel's 15 guest rooms has a design that pertains to a civilisation that had once flourished in Syria, the cradle of civilisation. Facilities available to guests at this guesthouse include a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, a hotel safe, TV lounge, restaurant, and room and laundry services.
