When guests are not taking in the sights of the city they can retreat to the hotel and explore the idyllic grounds. The hotel has many beautiful areas to enjoy from the landscaped gardens to the Olympic-sized pool with luxurious private cabanas.

The guest rooms at the Nile Ritz-Carlton are spacious and decorated in fine fabrics offering a luxurious experience for all guests staying at the hotel. The decor of the guest rooms was inspired by the royalty of ancient Egypt and this is reflected in the details of each room.

Luxury hotel on the Nile
Beautiful 5 star hotel. Security at entrance for cars and also as you walk in. From the moment you enter, you know you are in a first class hotel. The staff are friendly, professional, and trained to accommodate their guests. Lovely shops, coffee shop, lounge for coffee and delicious pastries. The room had a perfect view of the Nile. Our beds were very comfortable with quality linens. The breakfast was exceptional with tremendous offerings. Bonus was to be steps away from the musuem.
I don't believe it was mentioned on booking.com that the room with balcony was on a smoking floor. We were informed at check in and were given another room, without balcony but it was fine.

I loved the Nile Ritz Carlton and would happily stay there again.
I had a great comfortable bed, with delicious sheets. The view of the Nile was fantastic. The breakfast buffet is amazing.
Cigarette smoke in the lounge. Noisy music by the pool, but they did turn it down when requested.

Amazing and Awesome
They Upgraded us to the Ritz Carlton Suite which had some of the most amazing views of the Nile and the City’s views. They have some shops and I must say they had the best prices than the outside haggling Bazaars. Have a look at their goods once. A wide choice of restaurants and Food. Happy smiling staff

The best hotel customer service I’ve ever experienced.
We had a phenomenal 4-day stay at the Nile Ritz Carlton last week. In particular, this was the best service from staff I’ve ever received in a hotel; it really felt like every member of staff went out of their way to make us feel like we were the only guests in the hotel. Our two young children had a wonderful time, and connecting rooms overlooking the Nile was the perfect set-up for our sleeping arrangements. Super comfy beds and pillows. Pool was great, lunch in the lobby bar was very reasonably-priced and delicious, and we really enjoyed the dinner buffet in Culina.

Pleasant stay, good facilities and excellent staff.
Very helpful staff in general, and concierges in particular. Good choice and quality breakfast
Top floor restaurant not quite upto standard compared to the other restaurants at the hotel. Music in the evening on the stage at the hotel garden was too loud. Even on the 8th floor it kept us awake. We do not blame the hotel for the street/traffic noise all around the hotel.
