Giza Palace Hotel & Spa

Giza Palace Hotel & Spa is a large, newly opened five-star property in Sheikh Zayed, on the western side of Greater Cairo. It is a calmer base than the city centre, within reach of the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Rooms and suites follow a classical Egyptian look, with Egyptian cotton bedding, marble finishes and roomy bathrooms with a bathtub and a separate shower. Some rooms have a balcony. Several restaurants cover Mediterranean, Japanese and Middle Eastern cooking, and there is a pastry house and a lobby lounge. Guests can use the outdoor pool, a children's pool, a gym and a large spa with a traditional hammam, sauna and whirlpool. A kids' club and connecting rooms make it practical for families. A big ballroom and meeting rooms also suit business trips, weddings and events.
