Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo

Cairo, Egypt

Located on the east bank of the Nile close to downtown Cairo, the Kempinski Nile hotel is one of the smaller luxury hotels in the city, and boasts a central location.

The hotel is tastefully decorated and the attention to detail is impressive. Rooms and suites are spacious which is great if you are looking for additional space, or trying to accommodate the whole family. Some of the rooms also have views across the Nile and Cairo skyline.

Rooms

Although the Kempinski is a medium-sized hotel in Cairo, the hotel has an intimate feel to it. Rooms are elegant, spacious and equipped with all the modern amenities you would expect. This includes air-conditioning, coffee and tea making facilities, free wi-fi, and 24/7 butler service. The interiors could use an update, although rooms benefit from being bright and expansive. Rooms boast floor to ceiling windows which look out across the city or Nile. Suites have a separate bedroom and living area and are roughly double the size of the rooms. Suites are a great option for families, although interconnected rooms are also available.

Location

The Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo is situated in the heart of the affluent Garden City historic quarter, on the east bank of the Nile. Nile view rooms enjoy views across to Zamalek, an upmarket island in the middle of the river. The hotel is well connected and is a five-minute walk from downtown Cairo, and the Egyptian Museum.
