Fear turns Phoenicia Hotel into residence for anti-Syrian MPs
The March 14 alliance has rented Beirut's plush Phoenicia Hotel and changed it into a bastion-like safe residence for its threatened parliamentary deputies who would take part in electing a new president for Lebanon.

The sea-side hotel is now off limits to all non-authorized personnel and would not accept any guests until after the presidential elections, a senior source told Naharnet. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said "even MPs representing the opposition and non-March 14 factions would not be allowed into the hotel. This is a private property."
