Seasons Hotels and Resorts continues its worldwide expansion with
the opening of Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza. The
contemporary 366-room Hotel, is conveniently located in the heart

second hotel in Cairo, we are offering our guests two completely
distinct experiences on opposite sides of the Nile," said Wolf

intimate and residential atmosphere while the new hotel is much
more contemporary in design and feel." Boasting spectacular views
of the Nile on one side and the centuries-old Citadel on the other,
Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza offers a prestigious new
address for both business and leisure guests. Situated amidst the
business and diplomatic district, it is also ideally located for
access to the city's many ancient monuments and areas of cultural
importance. The airy, open concept spaces of the lobby are
indicative of the contemporary design found throughout the Hotel.
Silk wall coverings and curtains in warm tones of pale green, taupe
and beige, modern chandeliers of hand blown glass and contemporary
artwork from around the world create a distinctly fresh atmosphere.
The Hotel's 78 spacious suites and 288 large guest rooms are
equally contemporary in design, with shades of taupe or teal
complimented by light woods. Many of the rooms feature private,
furnished, outdoor terraces, perfect for relaxing or dining al
fresco. The hub of activity within the Hotel will centre around its
seven dining venues, each offering specialties from different parts
of the world. Its Mediterranean, Cantonese, Italian and seafood
restaurants feature modern interpretations of authentic dishes.
Casual meals, cocktails and refreshments can be enjoyed at each of
the three lounges within the Hotel. In contrast to the activity
level around the restaurants is the fifth floor, which is entirely
dedicated to the art of well-being and relaxation. Here guests will
find the city's largest Spa and Wellness Centre, offering a variety
of treatments including some inspired by ancient Egyptian beauty
rituals. Adjacent to the Spa is an expansive outdoor terrace,
overlooking the Nile. With three swimming pools, a Pool Bar and
