615 Rooms and Suites—Because Who Needs Just One?
You will need to have ample room to move around and take in the scenery when you are looking at the nile especially with what may be a stylish cocktail in hand. Spacious and stylish with 615 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, GREAT in times of in case if you would need such, and at least one of them would be guaranteed to have a sight that would sorely abuse your camera roll. 📸 photograph tip: If nature can’t match your shine take a selfie with the river
Dining, Wellness, and Events—Oh My!
No need to choose between indulgence and relaxation—Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile gives you both. The hotel boasts four fabulous dining venues, including some that are right on the riverbank (because why not eat with a side of Nile breeze?). And if you’ve overindulged in too many Egyptian delicacies (we’re looking at you, koshari), there’s a wellness center, a spa, a pool, and a fitness center to help you work off that delicious guilt.
For those of you who prefer meetings to massages, fear not! The hotel offers over 2,000 sqm of event space—whether you're planning a conference, a wedding, or just need a lot of room for dancing to "Walk Like an Egyptian," you’ll have the space.
Location, Location, Location—And A Few Pyramids
If you’ve ever wanted to wake up, throw open your window, and say “Good morning, Nile” (and let’s be real, who hasn’t?), now’s your chance. This hotel sits right on the river—meaning you’ll wake up to some serious Egyptian grandeur. Plus, it's super close to world-famous sites like the Grand Egyptian Museum (coming soon), the Giza Pyramids, and other ancient wonders that’ll make your Instagram followers wonder if you've time-traveled.
The Sofitel Family Just Got Bigger—But We Won’t Get Jealous
Joining its already iconic siblings in Luxor, Aswan, and El Gezirah, Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile is the newest member of the Sofitel family. And don’t worry, it won’t get all big-city on you—it’s still grounded in its roots, blending the classic French elegance you know and love with Egypt’s rich culture.
CEO Says: We’re Really Committed to Egypt
Maud Bailly, the CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery, and Emblems, couldn’t be more excited about the launch. “This new signing reaffirms our commitment to Egypt, which has always been one of our key markets with tons of potential. We’re here to bring that French flair to Egypt, while honoring the country’s rich culture. Plus, we’re making it big—this is our largest Sofitel in the world—so, yeah, we’re pretty serious about this,” says Maud, probably with a glass of champagne in hand.
