Luxury On the Nile
From the moment you step into the grand lobby of the hotel, the traditional Egyptian with contemporary aesthetics is sure to take your breath away. Marble floors gleam under chandeliers, while curated pieces of local artwork peppered across the hotel give the space a sense of place. The beautifully appointed Cairo hotel rooms and Cairo hotel suites are bright with natural light that pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows. They offer a strong sense of place with views of the world’s longest river and Cairo’s skyline from your private in-room terrace.
The Corniche Suite possesses a super-smart layout. The living area can be closed off with sliding wooden doors, allowing for extra privacy in the river-facing bedroom and balcony. For an ultra-luxurious stay, book a Presidential or Royal Suite designed by renowned French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Situated on the top floors, the luxurious accommodations boast extra space for entertaining (dining areas, kitchens, living rooms) and marble bathrooms filled with Bulgari amenities.
