A view of the lobby of the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel in Tripoli. This hotel, located right next to the medina, normally costs about 300 Euros per night per room. We were not originally scheduled to stay here, but one of our tour leaders told me that the travel agency in Libya had arranged for an upgrade thanks to the large volume of business from our tour company. It was certainly the best-appointed hotel I have ever stayed at, handily beating out the Fairmont in San Jose where I once stayed for a conference (which costs about 30% less). Definitely a 5-star hotel, and the concierges were very helpful while I was trying to reconfirm our flights home.
