ALEPPO: For generations her husband’s family managed the iconic Baron Hotel in northern Syria, but after years of war the inn is empty and Rubina Mazloumian says she is too tired to carry on.
The Baron Hotel was once the fanciest in Aleppo, Syria’s second city, visited by a long list of celebrated names.
But after four years of civil war in the former rebel stronghold, its suites and ballroom are empty, walls peeling — and its long, red carpet is gone.
The bar stools are vacant and its piano sits unplayed, collecting dust.
