History

The hotel opened on February 15, 2011 as the JW Marriott Hotel Tripoli, just days before the Libyan Civil War began. It closed just two weeks later and the hotel's few guests and 185 staff were evacuated by Marriott on a chartered plane to Amman.
Marriott stated in April 2011 that they hoped to reopen the hotel at some point. In 2013, the hotel's co-owners, the Libyan government Economic and Social Development Fund and South Korean-based Daewoo Engineering & Construction announced their hope to reopen the hotel in 2014. In 2021, the owners again announced plans to reopen the hotel.
On November 29, 2025, the hotel reopened as the Al Hayat Tower, operated by the Lebanese Lancaster Hotels group, after completing renovations.
