Accommodation
When in doubt, you can always stay at the Radisson Blu (Al Mahary) in Tripoli (approx $300 per night). Another good option if on business is the Corinthia Hotel Tripoli, which comes in at about $300-350 per night. Originally known as the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel, the five-star skyscraper is located in the city center, near the central business district. For the shallower pocket, the Plasma Hotel is a comfortable option at $90-120 per night
