With all the attractions of Cairo on the doorstep, and the Sphinx and Pyramids at Giza only 45 minutes drive away, the hotel is well placed for sightseeing, yet providing a relaxing oasis to escape to.

As a new hotel, the Nile Plaza doesn't perhaps have the same historic feel to it as some other Cairo hotels, but that means everything is modern and new and coupled with Four Seasons wonderful service, what more could anyone want.

Interiors are bright and chic, and make good use of natural materials.  All guest rooms offer panoramic views, but triple glazed windows ensure peace and quiet, and help keep rooms cool.

Rooms and suites

The Nile Plaza has a total of 365 guest rooms, which include 77 suites.   All are generously spacious and contain the latest technology, including high-speed Internet and entertainment systems.

All feature Four Seasons' signature marble bathrooms with deep soaking tub and separate shower, with Nile View rooms having their own private terrace and extra spacious sixth-floor Conservatory Rooms having expansive teak furnished terraces for extra space.

The large suites comprise bedroom and separate living area, with Conservatory Suites having two private terraces for relaxing or dining.  For the ultimate escape, the two three-bedroom Royal Suites on the top floor give guests a bird's eye view of the Nile and the distant Pyramids.
