The circular tower of the Sofitel El Gezirah stands on the southern tip of Gezira Island, which gives it something few Cairo hotels have: water on three sides and a private riverside promenade. Rooms fan out around the tower, so almost every one has a view of the Nile, either towards downtown and Garden City or towards Giza.
The hotel’s style is French elegance with Egyptian accents. Rooms are bright and modern, with the higher Luxury and Club categories giving access to an executive lounge. An infinity pool sits at the water’s edge, and the Sofitel Spa offers a hammam, massages and a gym.
Dining is spread along the riverfront and is one of the hotel’s strengths. There are about six venues, including a well-known Lebanese restaurant, a classic Egyptian grill, an all-day restaurant and lounge bars where you can watch feluccas drift past.
The Cairo Opera House and the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art are a short walk away, and the Opera metro station is nearby. Tahrir and the Egyptian Museum are a quick taxi ride across the bridge. It suits couples and leisure travellers who want a calm, scenic base, as well as business guests attending events at the opera complex.
