$$$$, Downtown and Bulaq
Fodor's Review:
Cairo's best-kept lodging secret is that the palatial, fully furnished, 2,000-square-ft apartments in this Hilton-managed luxury residential complex can sometimes be rented by the week, not just long term -- and for less than the cost of two hotel rooms, which makes it ideal for families. Each Royal apartment has two bedrooms, four bathrooms, a terrace (opt for the city view, which is better and less expensive), a large living room, a study, and a fully equipped kitchen. With these available, there is little reason to take a suite at a more traditional hotel, especially because you have housekeeping and 24-hour room service here. And many of Cairo's best food and shopping options are in the same building, just an elevator ride away.
