Hotel Description
General Description
Location. The Sofitel El Gezirah is located in Cairo, Egypt, within two kilometres of the ancient artefacts of the Egyptian Museum and the city's Opera House. The historic centre of Cairo is six kilometres from the hotel. Opera metro station is 800 metres away.
Hotel Features. Teetering on the edge of the Nile, this canary-coloured high-rise hotel has undergone recent renovation under the eye of French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Rochon's touches include a full-length arched window in the lobby from which guests can overlook the river. Multilingual staff at the 24- hour front desk keep a safe deposit box. There is also a concierge desk, delicatessen and hair salon on site.
Sofitel El Gezirah has five restaurants all with terraces. El Kebabgy serves Middle Eastern specialities while Vendome provides international fine dining. Bar/restaurants Budda, Sud and Paradise Island serve international and Mediterranean dishes.
Business services include 11 multi-functional meeting rooms, secretarial services and wireless Internet access (surcharge).
In addition to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Sofitel El Gezirah offers a health spa including sauna, Turkish baths, massage service and more unique treatments such as thalassotherapy. For guests willing to gamble there is an onsite casino.
Guestrooms. The 433 air-conditioned guestrooms are decorated in neutral tones with crisp white bedding and pine wood furnishings. Balconies provide views over the city. Amenities include satellite television, direct-dial phones and Wireless Internet access (surcharge). Complimentary newspapers and bottled water are provided.
Expert Tip. Cairo's bustling heart can be found in the Khan el-Khalili district. A historic shopping area packed with backroom factories and workshops, the suq (market) was established in the 14th century.
