As a major tourist destination, Cairo has hotels to suit all
budgets and most tastes. For the discerning business and leisure
traveller, there are the usual Hiltons (the
Ramses and the Nile), as well as the
Conrad International, the
Semiramis, the
Helnan
Shepheard, the
El-Gezirah Sheraton and the
Grand Hyatt, all near, or in, the centre of
town. Others of particular note include the recently opened Four
Seasons Hotel in Giza and the
Cairo Marriott,
located in a beautiful palace built by Khedive Ismail in 1869.
