A Grand Address on the Nile
Rising along Cairo's Corniche El Nil, Fairmont Nile City offers a refined base from which to experience the Egyptian capital. The hotel places guests close to the city's legendary landmarks, from the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza to the timeless waters of the Nile, while its elevated position offers sweeping views across the river and Cairo's ever-changing skyline.
Rooms Above Cairo
The hotel's 562 rooms and suites provide a sophisticated retreat above the energy of the city. Elegant Art Deco-inspired interiors create a sense of understated glamour, with expansive views of the Nile or Cairo adding a dramatic sense of place. Thoughtful amenities, generous spaces and warm, personal service complete the experience.
