Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

Opened as Sofitel's largest hotel in Cairo, this property sits on the Nile Corniche in Bulaq, close to the centre of the city. Every room carries a private balcony and windows framed on the river, decorated in blue tones with marble bathrooms fitted with a separate rain shower and tub. Suites run from Classic and Deluxe through Executive rooms with Club Millésime access, up to Prestige, Opera, Presidential, and Royal suites, all with Nile views. Club Millésime guests can take breakfast and evening cocktails in a private lounge set apart from the main floors. Dining spans five venues: Solana for Mediterranean and international plates by day, Oak for Italian cooking finished in wood sourced from Italy, Kamala for Pan-Asian dishes from an open kitchen, Jayda Nile Terrace for Egyptian-Lebanese platters after sunset, and Stage One for cocktails by tall windows. The outdoor pool sits beside a fitness room fitted with Technogym equipment. It is a short walk from the Nile Corniche promenade. The spa pairs French treatments with Egyptian techniques and includes a jacuzzi and separate saunas. For events, 18 rooms hold up to 1,200 guests, among the larger wedding and conference venues in the city. The Egyptian Museum lies roughly a 30-minute walk along the river promenade.
