The Conrad Cairo Hotel Egypt
Warm, sunny days and cooler evenings make Cairo, Egypt, the perfect spot for year-round leisure.
The Conrad Cairo Hotel, well situated in the city center on the Nile, is one of those all around hotels that usually receives good marks from its guests. Though a large hotel with 617 rooms, its seems to offer sophisticated luxury for both business and leisure travellers and is a perfect base for exploring historic Cairo.
The Conrad Cairo Hotel is the luxury brand of the Hilton hotel chain, and in a city with very many fine, luxurious hotels, it holds its own, though it seems to perhaps cater most to business travelers. And though popular with large tour groups, it seems to fair less well with families, particularly with teenagers, probably because of its quite sophistication. There are perhaps some good reasons for this.
Indeed, the Conrad Cairo hotel caters to business travelers with a host of meeting rooms and special meeting packages and events, while also offering an extensive business center that includes secretarial and translation services. Clearly, the staff of the hotel has extensive experience in smoothly handling large conventions, meetings and other business groups. For the business traveler, it offers large, well appointed and comfortable rooms with all the amenities, including nice, peaceful balconies that overlook the Nile. The rooms are each equipped with desks, multiple telephones, data ports, mini-bars, in-room safes and even pay-per-view movies. They also feature marble bathrooms with separate shower and bath.
The trend in Cairo, as is common elsewhere, is for large hotels to offer a relatively large number of eating establishments. Perhaps surprisingly, those in this hotel are somewhat limited in comparison, though several are very nice. The Villa D’Este is one of the most formal, serving Italian cuisine, and there is a Sea Market that serves a good variety of fish.
For large groups, the Conrad Cairo hotel it is very conveniently located, providing quick access to many of Cairo’s most popular sightseeing destinations, such as Coptic Cairo and Islamic Cairo, including the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, the Citadel and the many historic, medieval mosques. Of course, the Egyptian Museum, for the time being, is very close, though it will in the future be moved to the Giza area.
At the same time, the room rates are very reasonable, particularly compared to some of the newer luxury hotels in Cairo. The Conrad Cairo hotel really does offer considerable bang for the buck. It also offers sophisticated entertainment, in the form of very upscale restaurants, bars and a casino, as well as a fully equipped health club. It is, indeed, perfectly matched to the business traveler, which the hotel specifically targets.
Yet, one must remember that the Conrad Cairo hotel is a well rounded one that is well liked by most everyone. Whether it be the rooms, the service, the cleanliness or the value for the money, all aspects of this hotel are well balanced towards the very high end.
