The Al Qasr Airport Hotel, officially opened in November 2025, is set to elevate hospitality in Benghazi, Libya, featuring international-class accommodations for both business travelers and tourists. Strategically located in Benina, just 2 kilometers from the Benina International Airport, this new hotel boasts 1,100 guest rooms across four floors, alongside a rich array of amenities such as outdoor swimming pools, dining options, a rooftop lounge, a fitness center, a business center, and underground parking for 100 vehicles.
To ensure the hotel’s longevity and enhance its structural integrity, the Penetron System—a renowned crystalline waterproofing technology—has been implemented. This innovative solution was chosen over competing methods to safeguard the expansive below-grade concrete parking garage and basement, effectively reducing the need for future maintenance. Benina is not only home to the airport but also features multiple mosques and the Benina Martyrs Football Stadium, solidifying its status as an essential urban center.
Amer K. Elbarghathi, Regional Sales Manager for Penetron North Africa, commented on the hotel’s significance amid increasing air traffic at Benina International Airport, stating, “The new Al Qasr Airport Hotel will be a welcome addition to Benghazi’s hospitality infrastructure.” The Penetron System was meticulously integrated by Al Aseel, the project’s general contractor, ensuring optimized protection against groundwater levels.
Key highlights of the hotel include:
– 1,100 luxury guest rooms
– Multiple dining options and rooftop lounges
– Outdoor swimming pools and fitness facilities
– Business center and underground parking
By utilizing the Penetron System, which employs a catalytic reaction with moisture to create a waterproof seal within the concrete, the hotel is positioned for durability against the region’s challenging environmental conditions. This advancement reflects Penetron’s commitment to enhancing construction quality and longevity throughout Libya.
