BABYLON HOUSE
CENTER OF SENSE & CULTURE

"Where cultures meet"

✦ ✦ ✦

Babylon House brings several worlds together under one roof.

Under the vaulted blues and warm candlelight of Babylon House, cultures, eras, and rituals intertwine. It is at once a restaurant, a jazz room, a hammam, a game parlour, and a boutique of rare objects — each space with its own story, all part of one atmosphere.

BABYLON
A temple dedicated to those who cherish the art of the past.
Here, the memory of ancient cities lives in candle smoke and saxophone notes. The evening is unhurried; conversations stretch like rivers; stories are told in dishes, fabrics, and games. Babylon House is for those who find beauty in continuity — in traditions preserved, and rituals reimagined.
Eat slowly.
Listen deeply.
Breathe fully.
Stay present.

A House of Living Cuisines

The restaurant at Babylon House is a living atlas of kitchens. Chefs move between flames and guests, cooking in the open, weaving together techniques and memories from across continents. Menus change with the seasons, with conversations, with the tempo of the room.

🌏 East Asia
China, Japan, and Korea meet in precise, textural dishes — broths, embers, and quiet steam.
🫒 Mediterranean Europe
Italy, Greece, and Southern Europe bring warmth of the coast — olive oil, citrus, and the memory of long tables.
🌿 Eastern Mediterranean & Levant
Israel, Lebanon, and the Levant offer herbs, smoke, and spice — generous plates made for sharing.

“Cooking happens openly at tables and stations. Guests observe the process, interact with chefs, and take part in how the meal unfolds. Dining becomes a cultural ritual.”

“Music at Babylon House lives in the space.”
In the blue shadows of Vartan’s Jazz, candle flames move with the rhythm. Brass and saxophone echo against tiled walls; glasses catch the light like small constellations. Guests drift between the bar, the lounge, and the game tables — never far from the band, always close to the sound. Sets flow without sharp edges, inviting you to stay for “just one more” song.

Hammam & Spa

“Steam, water, heat, and silence shape an atmosphere of calm continuity. Rituals draw inspiration from ancient traditions of cleansing and renewal. Time moves slowly here; it is measured in breaths, not in minutes.”

Games of Mind, Strategy & Presence

In the games room, tables become small stages. Candles frame the boards; glasses of tea and whisky mark the passing rounds. Here, the game is not only about winning but about the gaze across the table, the ritual of the move, the shared silence between turns.

Objects for the Evening

The Babylon Lounge Boutique gathers cigars, games, textiles, and limited editions chosen for their tactility and character. Shelves hold things meant to be touched, lit, shuffled, and shared — companions to long nights and longer conversations.

Objects of Memory

Babylon Objects is a collection of pieces that carry stories: vessels that remember the hand, boards that recall evenings of play, glass that remembers the weight of smoke and light. Each item is designed to live with you long after the night at Babylon has ended.

“Each object reflects craftsmanship, tactility, and meaning.”

BABYLON
THE IDEA OF BABYLON
Babylon is more than a house; it is a city imagined within four walls. It gathers languages, recipes, patterns, and sounds that might otherwise never meet. The past is not an exhibit here — it is a living presence, invited to sit at the table and speak in the voice of the present. In every corner there is a small act of care: a warmed glass, a perfectly placed candle, a melody chosen for the room and the moment.
A city rising from the sands of time.

Sensory identity of Babylon House
BABYLON is sound, visual, taste, smell and touch.
Sound Visual Taste Smell Touch
At Babylon House, every sense is invited. Light settles like velvet on the walls; the air carries spice, smoke, and distant brass. Surfaces are chosen for the way they feel under the hand — stone, leather, linen, glass. Sound arrives not as background but as a guiding line for the night.
