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

Despite the state of the Egypt’s tourism, the country still enjoy a reputation for local hospitality. Even on a personal level, hospitality is engrained into the fabric of how Egyptians coexist and so, although it’s of a very different kind, the hospitality we’re celebrating in this category is very much in the same vein.

The winners of the Cairo 360 Editors’ Choice Awards for World-Class hospitality consistently offer unrivalled service across the board, each one packaging it they’re own unique style.

Congratulations to all winners!

Four Seasons Nile Plaza

Benefitting from a magnificent location overlooking The Nile in the charming area of Garden City, Four Seasons Nile Plaza offers a variety of top-notch facilities, making excellent use of its modest size.

Four Seasons First Residence

On the other side of the Nile on the Giza Corniche stands the Four Seasons First Residence, which boasts a particularly spectacular spa and, overall, has a unique style that encompasses both a familiar comfort and the kind of luxury you expect from the Four Season name.

Fairmont Heliopolis & Towers

With up to 18 different restaurants, bars, cafes and other food and beverage outlets operating at any given time, the Fairmont Heliopolis & Towers is often unfairly dismissed as a place of convenience thanks to its proximity to the airport. It is, in fact, a one large lap of luxury that offers something for everyone.

Cairo Marriott Hotel

Cairo Marriott Hotel is an architectural work of art. Having always been a landmark of hospitality, the main palace was built in 1869 by Khedive Ismail and has always held a distinctly royal atmosphere through which it offers excellent hospitality.  

JW Marriott Hotel

Although its location means it’s not the kind of place you’ll go to unless you’re going for something very particular, the JW Marriott is up there with the best in Cairo in terms of its facilities, hospitality and general grandeur.

Dusit Thani LakeView

Boasting a distinctly Thai-flavoured experience, the Dusit Thani LakeView in New Cairo. Existing in near-isolation in what is a busy area, there’s a cloak of serenity around the hotel that makes way for high-end, world-class service and facilities.

Kempinski Nile Hotel

Having some of the best restaurants in town, including Cairo 360 Editor’s Choice Award winner, Osmanly, and the wellness sanctuary that is The Spa, Garden City’s Kempinski Nile Hotel fuses the intimacy of a bouqitue hotel with grand facilities and excellent service.

Conrad Cairo Hotel

Conrad Cairo Hotel has more to offer than just a magnificent spot overlooking The Nile on Corniche El Nil; the hotel brags a colourful spectrum of lavish restaurants and nightclubs, like Oak Grill and Stage One, and has always managed to capture the warm, inviting hospitality that many large hotels lack.

Mena House

Dripping with years of history in what is a historic location, Mena House is one of the oldest hotels in Cairo that offers a unique stay, which perfectly blends the future and the past. There’s a reason so many celebrities from across the globe have stayed there over the years.

Intercontinental Cairo Semiramis

Although it was one of several institutions that suffered from the spill-over of the January 25 Revolution, Garden City’s Intercontinental Cairo Semiramis has made its way back to the top of the deck thanks to its excellent service, dazzling restaurants and breathtaking Nile View.  

The Nile Ritz-Carlton

As one of the newer hotels in the capital, The Nile Ritz-Carlton has wasted no time in asserting itself as playground of luxury. There’s a pleasing business about the Downtown Cairo hotel that oays testemant to its top-notch facilities and outlets, as well as its service and hospitality.

Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski

New Cairo’s Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski has a classical feel whose peaks of luxury show most in the unique cuisines its restaurants serve, its leisure facilities and its overall level of old-school, no-nonsense luxury.
