Fairmont Nile City, Cairo

Corniche El Nile, Ramlet Beaulac, Cairo, Egypt. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Standing between two towering office blocks overlooking the Nile, this luxury hotel will appeal to both business and leisure travelers. The interior design looks to the early 20th century for its inspiration; to balance the yin and yang, there are two different color schemes for the rooms—a rich black and gold, contrasting with cool ivories and natural tones.”

Forbes review:

“A location amid Nile City Towers Mall gives the hotel easy access to shopping and entertainment — catch a movie at the Renaissance Cinema. Though since Fairmont Nile City sits on the banks of the Nile, your gaze likely will be locked on the world’s longest river.”

All you need to know

Hovering right over the edge of the world’s longest river, the Fairmont Nile City is a luxury escape built into Cairo’s striking Nile City Towers complex. Designed by the famous global architecture firm Hirsch Bedner Associates, the hotel seamlessly blends sleek, modern structural lines with timeless, elegant Art Deco interior accents.

Its coolest architectural bragging right is easily the 25th-floor Sky Pool. As the highest rooftop swimming pool in Cairo, it treats you to unbelievable, panoramic views of the city skyline blending into the horizon—on a clear day, you can actually spot the ancient Pyramids of Giza frames in the distance while you swim.

If you are looking to explore, the hotel serves as an excellent central anchor. You are just a short drive from Tahrir Square and the legendary Egyptian Museum, which houses a massive treasure trove of ancient artifacts. The bustling, historic alleys of the Khan El Khalili bazaar are also within easy reach for souvenir hunting.

Inside the hotel, the atmosphere stays incredibly alive after dark. You can catch authentic belly dancing performances and live music over shisha at their vibrant Bab El Nil restaurant, or slide into the Saigon Lounge for some sophisticated pan-Asian dishes and live jazz.

The room was nice. The restaurants and the breakfast was fantastic.

We were told that everything in the room would be complimentary so we opened a bottle of red wine. The only bottle that wasn't included. The price of that red wine for a half bottle size costs us $US 200. So clarify with the front desk if everything in the room is included.

Very good

Sometimes one person can transform the entire experience of a destination. The pyramids had been disappointing for me because I had used the earlier gate and had fallen prey to the local guides, the horse carriages, camels etc. The concierge at the hotel, Yasser, patiently listened to my rant and helped me book my tickets online, and arranged an excellent driver, Waheed. He went beyond the call of duty and constantly checked with Waheed to ensure that my trip went off well. As I stare at the photographs of the enchanting, mystical Pyramids which are now a part of me, I.think of Yaseer and thank him from the bottom of my heart.

There should have been more fruit in the breakfast buffet selection. Also, the buffet had very limited variety.

High quality place in Cairo

Staff and service was incredible. Had a friends birthday and they arranged a cake free of charge. We bought the cake to one of their restaurants and they even arranged a celebration for him.

One small complaint is that upon check in I was told that breakfast was complimentary but ended up having to pay.

Expensive but good location. Friendly and helpful hotel staff.

Prices are extortionate, you could pay 4 x the price of a drink at a neighbouring hotel. And service charge is applied to everything, even if you take a drink out of the mini-bar you get charged service. And the cleaners for the rooms often left the room door open while they went away to get provisions and cleaning materials. This meant that the door to your room would be left wide open for several minutes with no one inside it. And I know this because I came back to the room twice to find it like this.

Excellent breakfast (quality & choice), a few restaurants and bars to choose from (our favorite was saigon's cuisine and bar. Beautiful and comfy room /beds, stunning bathroom! We absolutely loved the staff, the concierge team is beyond amazing and genuinely care about helping you (Ahmed, Sarah and hussein?). The spa area is great, and the gym is a proper highly equipped and maintained gym. The swimming pool area and food is excellent and the staff there is really lovely 🙏🏼 thank you for everything

Lively hotel though location a bit iffy

Beautiful property w black marble tiles floor and walks, high end glam decor. Bedrooms very comfortable. Bed excellent , sheets and towels lovely and super luxurious. Bathroom very nice. Pool at the top of the hotel. Staff excellent especially Youssef ( reception) & Christen & Sarah ( concierge ). The pool area , though nice could be windy, smallish and definitely not enough sun umbrellas and those they had were crochet so though looked good didn’t protect you from the sun. There was no outdoor dining or bar ( other than pool area ) in use so everything was indoors. No casual dining area though the hotel had a new mall attached and there is a nice bistro there. Though the hotel is opposite the Nile ( across a busy road ) there is nothing really walkable so had to catch taxis everywhere.

The room is super tidy and clean, and the location is really convenient. And the breakfast is pretty decent compared to other hotels.

Hot water is very unstable, fluctuating between hot and cold. Moreover, the shower head faucet is too tight and difficult to operate.
