The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we are thirsty for a little enjoyment! We’ve been through enough worries, hardship, and readjustments, and we very much deserve a little time-out with our loved ones right about now!

The St. Regis Cairo is offering couples a unique experience, guaranteed to elevate you to a world of luxury, relaxation, and entertainment. On the 14th of February, The St. Regis Cairo will, for the first time, host an exclusive champagne sabering for lovebirds to enjoy at The Water Garden. Upon purchasing one of the sparkling wine bottles, couples will receive a private sabering act for their bottle.

The champagne sabering ritual is a traditional celebration dating back to Ms Astor, the mother of St. Regis brand founder Mr John Jacob Astor. They used to do it during evening gatherings to mark the transition from daytime to night time, demonstrating a warm welcome. This practice is most commonly associated with Napoleon Bonaparte, who famously opened champagne with his sabre, savouring it in victory and defeat. And Nowadays St. Regis Hotels around the world have this ritual done during special celebratory occasions.

A night of fabulous fine dining will also be on offer at three locations within the hotel. La Zisa’s package will include four courses at EGP 1800++, Tianma’s package has six courses at EGP 2200++, and J&G Steakhouse will consist of five courses at EGP 2500++.

All packages will include a special table set up with candles, St. Regis signature Virgin Hibiscus Mary or a glass of Le Baron Signature Sparkling, with the exception of a J&G Bloody or Virgin Mary at J&G Steakhouse. Also included are a beautiful blooming red rose, a discount coupon for their spa, and house music for entertainment, except at Tianma, where there will be a pianist. Each location promises a superbly magical atmosphere and the option of sparkles with Le Baron Signature Brut for EGP 600++ or Astoria Fashion Victim Brut or Rose for EGP 1200++.

It will certainly be hard to say goodbye to such an enchanting escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, so The St. Regis Cairo will also offer a Valentine’s exclusive room package for all your after-hours and next-day leisurely needs. Starting from EGP 2,800++, couples can enjoy a complimentary upgrade for a full Nile view room, breakfast for two, complimentary parking, and access to the hotel’s indoor and outdoor swimming pools, plus an exclusive private dining package in the room including four courses at EGP 1800++.

Whether it’s a partner, a family member, or even a friend, The St. Regis Cairo invites you to pick a loved one to spoil yourselves senseless for this year’s Valentine’s Day.
