Cairo Ramses Hilton

A towering high rise hotel set on the Nile's east bank, the Ramses Hilton is located next to a sprawling shopping, cinema and restaurant complex, and 13 kilometres from the Pyramids and Sphinx. This 36 floor hotel features 859 air conditioned guestrooms, all of which are decorated in pastel tones and open onto balconies with Nile or city views. Modern amenities include cable television, safes, and minibars, while bathrooms come with hair dryers, telephones, and bathrobes.
After breakfast, sun seekers can head for the outdoor swimming pool which is bordered by a sun deck and offers views of the Nile and a poolside area serving food and drink all day. Within the hotel, guests can pamper themselves at the hair and beauty salon, work out in the gymnasium, or unwind in the sauna, steam room, and hot tub; massage treatments are also available. Shoppers will find plenty of variety on site, including a bookshop, jewellery store, and gift shop. There are also two banks, one of which is open 24 hours. The Garden Court serves a wide variety of freshly prepared cakes, French pastries, light snacks, and Shisha pipes, with live entertainment in the evening. The other onsite dining option is an Indian restaurant. The Windows on the World restaurant and cocktail bar on the 36th floor offers international dishes accompanied by belly dancers and panoramic views of Cairo reaching as far as the Pyramids, while the Sherlock Holmes Bar is a traditional English pub with music and a widescreen television. Sightseers will find plenty to occupy them in the hotel's vicinity, including the Egyptian Museum next door, the ancient citadel eight kilometres away, and the Coptic Hanging Church & Coptic Muse, 10 kilometres from the hotel. Cairo International Airport is 24 kilometres away, around 40 minutes by car.
