Cairo Marriott Hotel
The building is historic and looks so gorgeous. The rooms were beautiful, beds were comfortable and we were not bothered by the outsider noise/car honking at all. Service is great and breakfast is just wonderful. Highly recommend plus the location is central

Le Méridien Cairo Airport
A beautiful hotel connected to Terminal 3 at Cairo Airport. Couldn’t be any more convenient, especially for a 5:30am flight. I got a 90 minute signature massage, which was the best I’ve had. Mary is amazing, I would highly recommend her. I wish she lived in New York.
