Hotel Jdayde (Aleppo, Siria)

Jdayde: in breve

A traditional, very nice hotel in Aleppo, Syria. Located in the heart of Aleppo city at Sahet Al-Hatab Square. Aleppo is famous for its citadel that towers over it. Traditionally a city of trade, especially before the Suez canal, it used to link Europe and India. A truly charming oriental city. Aleppo is the city of Architecture. One can find various styles in it; architectures of the XIII th. and XIV th. centuries, like the caravanserais, coranic schools and Hammams (so called Turkish baths), in the old city. Architecture of the XVI th. and XVII th. centuries, in the residencies of the delicate bourgeoisie of the Jdayde quarter, with its magnificent stone engravings. Baroque Architecture of XIX th. and the beginning of the XX th. centuries, in the Azizyeh quarter (e.g. la Villa Rosa). The new chic Shahba quarter is a mixture of several styles, i.e. Neoclassic, Norman, Oriental, etc. You can even find some Chinese pagodas. Aleppo is built entirely from stone.
