Al Dardasha Café: This is the hotel’s sidewalk café, a great place to relax in.

Hammam Zaman: This is a traditional steam bath where one can enjoy a soothing massage, a skin scrub, and a general body treatment course at; this luxury was enjoyed by Levantine aristocrats in olden times.

Al Areesha Terrace: This overlooks the romantic sight of the Old Damascus area. It is called Al Areesha Terrace because al-areesha means the extending network of grape tree vines in Arabic. There is a grape tree extending over connected wires to provide a beautiful sunscreen for guests relaxing in this terrace. The grape tree is 3 stories high and extends from the ground floor, through the walls of Beit Zaman's storeys, and to the top ceiling floor, where Al Areesha Terrace is at. This is the only hotel that has a tree growing within it in Old Damascus!
