Steigenberger Cecil Hotel

The Steigenberger Cecil is one of Alexandria's historic grand hotels, set on Saad Zaghloul Square at Raml Station and facing the Corniche and the Eastern Harbour. The ruins of the Caesareum and the city's classic patisseries and cafes are steps away, while the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Alexandria National Museum and Misr Station are a short trip. Its 85 rooms span standard, superior, deluxe and junior suite categories, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and kettles, and some balconies overlook the sea. Two restaurants serve all meals, alongside a coffee shop and a rooftop terrace, and room service runs around the clock. A banquet hall, business services, car hire, a 24-hour front desk and free Wi-Fi complete the offer. It suits history lovers, culture-focused travellers and business guests.
