The St. Regis Cairo

The St. Regis Cairo occupies a pair of Michael Graves-designed towers on the Nile Corniche in Boulaq, a short drive from Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum, with Zamalek, Garden City and Islamic Cairo all within easy reach. Rooms, suites and serviced Sky Apartments look out over the river, and every stay comes with the brand's butler service. Dining covers J&G Steakhouse, Tianma for Asian cuisine and La Zisa with its Nile-facing setting. The Iridium Spa offers treatment rooms, a sauna and a hot tub, complemented by indoor and outdoor pools, a round-the-clock gym and a kids' club. Meeting and event spaces suit corporate gatherings and celebrations. It works well for business travellers, couples and families who want a polished central base with river views.
