Best 5-star Hotels in Cairo
Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza: Your Downtown flagship. Rooms face the river, restaurants span casual to fine, and the spa resets jet lag in one hour. You can count on the famous Four Seasons luxury treatment as always.
The St. Regis Cairo: Overlooking the Corniche with grand rooms, serious dining, and lots of entertainment to add to your program, The St. Regis will never disappoint. Make sure to book a table at J&G Steakhouse or La Zisa for a breathtaking Nile-view dinner without leaving the building.
The Nile Ritz-Carlton: The luxury hotel that links the river to Tahrir Square. You’re two minutes from the Egyptian Museum for a history filled morning and no time to waste getting back to your hotel for pool days and terrace nights. It’s a strong choice when you want luxury in the heart of downtown Cairo.
Fairmont Nile City: Known for its iconic towers, this hotel is timeless. It has a lively pool scene and direct mall access. Order in-room breakfast facing the water, then move to the rooftop for a sundowner before dinner downstairs.
