Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
Our selection focuses on five-star hotels with a documented record of strong guest satisfaction. We prioritise properties that consistently score around 9 out of 10 on leading booking platforms and maintain an even standard over time in professional reviews.
What sets each property apart
We look for clear distinguishing features: rooftop or infinity pools, larger spas with thermal facilities, butler service, Nile panoramas or direct pyramid views, and a dining offer with distinctive concepts and bars of genuine international quality.
Location and access
Position carries real weight in a city like Cairo. We look for hotels that either offer swift access to Downtown and the Nile corniche (Garden City and Zamalek) or deliver iconic views and a proper resort atmosphere (Giza). Logistics to the airport and the availability of reliable, secure transfers are also taken into account.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you want to be close to the city's energy and its museums, Garden City or Zamalek on the Nile is the place to be. For iconic views, nothing beats a Giza address with the pyramids outside your window.
At the top end, yes. The St. Regis, for instance, offers butler service across all rooms, and other leading hotels offer similarly personalised arrangements.
Luxury hotels operate discreet but thorough procedures — bag scanning at the entrance is standard — and can arrange secure transport as well as meet-and-assist services at the airport.
Yes. The most sought-after categories — Nile view and pyramid view — tend to fill up six to ten weeks ahead, and considerably earlier around public holidays.
October and November, along with December through February, are the coolest and most comfortable months. Spring is warm but generally pleasant; summer is hot, though it can bring better rates.
Yes, several — NOX at The Nile Ritz-Carlton among them — where you can take in the city lights over an evening cocktail.
Very strong across the board: generous spa facilities with thermal areas, heated indoor pools at certain addresses and well-curated signature treatments throughout.
Absolutely. Many offer family rooms, children's menus, dedicated children's pools and flexible interconnecting room arrangements.
No — the terms vary. It's worth checking packages and loyalty pricing, as a room category that includes lounge access or breakfast can often work out to be good value.
Distances in Cairo are better measured in traffic than in kilometres. Giza makes sense when the pyramids are the priority; for museums and a wider choice of restaurants, a Nile-side address is the more practical base.
