Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano

The Four Seasons in San Stefano is Alexandria’s most upscale hotel, set in a modern tower on the seafront Corniche in the city’s eastern districts. The name recalls the grand San Stefano casino-hotel that stood here in the early twentieth century, and the new building combines Mediterranean views with a polished, classic interior.

All rooms look out to sea, and many have balconies. They are spacious, with marble bathrooms and plenty of natural light. The hotel has its own stretch of sandy beach, reached from the hotel without crossing the busy Corniche, plus an infinity pool terrace that faces the water, a spa and a gym.

Dining focuses on the Mediterranean. The beachfront restaurant is known for fresh fish and seafood, and there are Lebanese, Italian and international options, along with a lobby lounge for coffee and pastries. A shopping mall and cinema are attached to the complex.

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Qaitbay Citadel and the old downtown are around 20 to 30 minutes away along the Corniche, depending on traffic. Guest scores are very high, though prices are the highest in the city. It suits couples, families on a summer beach break and business travellers who want a reliable luxury base by the sea.
