Its lobby, bars and restaurants are contained within a huge, stunning atrium complete with palm trees and a clock fountain, allowing plenty of natural light into the area and into many of the rooms. Spacious and bright rooms either overlook the expansive lobby or city and pool area behind.

There’s also a swimming pool with a poolside bar, a fitness center, and a well-equipped spa if you have time to relax before your onward arrangements.

OUR OPINION:

Stepping into the huge, stunning lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis, you are transported to another world of tranquillity and freshness, away from the city’s hecticness. First class facilities and excellent service will ensure a wonderful stay.
