Holiday Inn

The war-ravaged five-star Holiday Inn hotel (C) stands in the Lebanese capital Beirut on April 12, 2010. The hotel witnessed one of the deadliest and fiercest battles of the Lebanese civil war with rival militiamen using it to fight each other from room to room. Lebanon commemorates on April 13, 2010 the 35th anniversary of the start of the civil war which broke out the same day in 1975. (Getty Images via Daylife)
