A Stay at The St. Regis Cairo

I am delighted to be back in Cairo and enjoying a remarkable stay at the newly opened St. Regis Cairo. Rising along the Nile Corniche, this 36-story landmark pairs sweeping views of the river and Old Cairo with the signature elegance and sophistication that define the St. Regis name.

The property is expansive, with more than 400 rooms, including an impressive collection of suites and serviced apartments. Each space blends modern luxury with local artistry. Egyptian-inspired details such as mashrabiya motifs and lotus-adorned furnishings create interiors that feel both timeless and refreshingly contemporary.

Dining here is a global journey in itself. Guests can savor Italian classics at La Zisa, prime cuts at J&G Steakhouse, or bold Asian flavors at Tianma. For lighter fare and social moments, the Water Garden and the St. Regis Bar provide elegant backdrops for cocktails and conversation.

Wellness is elevated to new heights at the Iridium Spa, spread across two floors. Signature treatments pay homage to legendary figures such as Cleopatra and Nefertiti. I indulged in the extraordinary Tutankhamun ritual, which included a rejuvenating soak, body scrub and wrap, and a restorative massage. It was a truly memorable experience.

Beyond the spa, the hotel offers a wealth of leisure options. From indoor and outdoor pools to a state-of-the-art fitness center and the tranquil Astor Library, every space is designed for relaxation and renewal. Service, of course, is impeccable, with the renowned St. Regis butlers providing bespoke care at any hour.

It will be difficult to part with this urban oasis, yet Cairo’s iconic treasures are just beyond the doors. The St. Regis Cairomakes an exceptional base for discovering them, offering a seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and legendary hospitality.
