Ask the Concierge

Who is the concierge?


Dear visitor - Welcome to Corinthia Hotel Tripoli - May I take the opportunity to introduce myself . 

I am Tony Tabone, Director of Concierge Services and I am assisted by a  young dynamic team at the Corinthia Tripoli. Our duty is to ensure that your stay in our hotel is enjoyable and comfortable. Guests often believe that the concierge is only there to confirm travel arrangements or book taxis.

At the Corinthia Tripoli our team is ready to answer every need and is prepared for every eventuality. If it`s a walking archeological trail to the country`s past or a once in a lifetime desert experience including camel rides and desert Twareg, sand dunes, salt coloured lakes, coloured painting in Akakus, engraving valley 9 kilometers long, in Germa, camping and beyond, we are sure to have done it before!

The concierge can provide a privileged look into the best attractions Libya has to offer and the best restaurants - The concierge has dined in them… and visited the most exclusive shops, archeological sites, white sandy beaches, different gold and carpet markets, the ancient tradition of whiling way of hours in a typical Shisha and Arabic coffee shops, a visit to Sriaa museum in the green square, a visit to 1st September avenue with a wide range of exclusive shops, restaurants and mosques. Our team is well connected and knows where they are to call to extend the warmest welcome.

The concierge will find a personal stylist, baby sitter, doctors, dentists, private clinics or personal tour guide - and that`s the easy part! Do you need to change your flight destination? A bouquet of white roses or just a picnic hamper to take to the beach? Our concierge can provide it all with a single call! Whatever your need or request,  we are happy to oblige.

As a US citizen where can I obtain a visa to enter Libya?

All US travellers please refer to the Consular Information Sheet (CIS) for Libya, which contains information we have available on the Libyan visa process.
The CIS can be accessed through the Embassy’s website, or through the Department of State’s site.

Travellers may also wish to contact the nearest Libyan People’s Bureau – either in USA or Canada – since Libyan visa policies and practices are subject to change.

With effect 2010, tourist visas are now available on arrival at the Tripoli International Airport. The latter are to be sourced through a local travel agent.
