Our Story

Where Luxury Meets Comfort in Benghazi

Youssif Hotels Group — houses in Benghazi run on authentic Libyan generosity and international hospitality standards, from our first guest to today.

The beginning

A small conviction became a house

Youssif Hotels Group was born of a simple conviction: that Benghazi — its storied history, its sea, its people — deserves hospitality equal to its standing. From that conviction came Youssif Hotel, then Al-Andalus by Youssif, and every new house we open carries the same promise: luxury without pretence, generosity without surprise.

We believe Libyan hospitality is not a slogan but a daily practice: a face that knows your name, coffee offered before it is asked for, small details arranged in silence. We pair that heritage with international operating standards — from real-time booking systems to quality management — for an experience today's guest can trust and tomorrow's guest will return to.

Today the group continues to grow, with new properties in development and a constant aim: to be the first address for refined hospitality in eastern Libya.

The journey

A gold thread from idea to today

The milestones that made us — not great leaps, but measured steps in a city we know and love.

  1. The origin

    A house for the city's guests

    It began with one question: where does a guest of Benghazi stay when the city means to honour them? From that question, Youssif Hotel rose in the heart of the city.

  2. Youssif Hotel

    Fifty rooms and suites, and more

    A rooftop restaurant above the city, a complete business centre and event halls — a house where the business trip and the family occasion sit under one roof.

  3. Al-Andalus by Youssif

    Andalusian warmth, a second address

    The vision reached a second address — quieter in character, with arches that tell their own story — held to the same standards and the same promise.

  4. The standards

    Live booking, disciplined operations

    We connected our houses to real-time booking systems and international quality management, so a guest arrives with a confirmation that holds and a rate that is honest, with no middleman.

  5. And onward

    New houses in development

    The group keeps growing across eastern Libya, with an aim that has not moved: to be the first address for refined hospitality.

What we believe

Three principles that run every shift

  • Genuine generosity

    A guest is honoured company before they are a reservation number — it is how we were raised, and how we work.

  • Quiet excellence

    We attend to the details you never see so the experience you feel is complete.

  • Rooted in the city

    From our kitchens to our team, Benghazi is present in everything we offer.
