Fodor's Review:
The centerpiece of this hotel, the largest in the Middle East, is a breathtaking palace built by Khedive Ismail to give French Empress Eugénie a suitable place to stay on her visit for the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. And it is fit for royalty: designed in a lush mix of European and Middle Eastern styles, it has ornately carved ceilings, marble staircases, and magnificent filigree lamps. Unfortunately you can't stay in the palace itself, because the Marriott's bright but comparatively undistinctive rooms are in two adjoining modern blocks. Still, the great joy of being a guest at the Marriott is that you can wander its gardens at all hours, and the stunning cast-iron Islamic arches lit up with spotlights are always nearby.
