As you'd expect from the luxury brand, this hotel is superb, with a serene setting, white-glove service, and beautifully appointed guest rooms with marble baths. The best rooms face west (be sure to request a balcony), with lush greenery just below and the haunting forms of the Pyramids hovering in the distance.
Revered for its proximity to the pyramids, this hotel, which was built in the 19th-century as a khedivial hunting lodge, has hosted many politicians, royals, and celebrities. Although there are antiques, Islamic-style art and architecture, and ornate carpeting throughout, the older section is far more atmospheric than the newer garden wing. The buffet breakfast in the open-air restaurant, with the pyramids towering in the background, is a must.
Directly opposite the new Grand Egyptian Museum and providing once-in-a-lifetime pyramid views from some of its rooms, this hotel is a solid and relatively affordable choice for visits to Giza. Guest rooms are refined, and the list of amenities includes a pool. Dining in the rooftop restaurant, with its delicious Egyptian grilled meat, is highly recommended.
