Hilton Zamalek Residence Cairo

On an island in the middle of the Nile, in the leafy Zamalek district, you’ll find this friendly hotel with first-class facilities. The neighbourhood combines authentic Egyptian architecture and charm with modern amenities – and the best of the city’s sights are an easy wander or taxi ride away.

Whether you want to start the day with some R&R or recharge after a busy day of sightseeing, the heated outdoor pool and idyllic riverside terrace awaits. There’s also a dedicated children’s pool. Indulge in the sauna and steam room, treat yourself to a massage, or if exercise soothes your soul, why not pump some iron at the onsite gym?

Kids receive a warm welcome at this hotel – literally, with their complimentary welcome pack – with thoughtful touches, such as the kids’ breakfast experience. Join the little ones for a buffet breakfast spread at the poolside restaurant, which serves up á la carte lunches and dinners later in the day, too.

You can also enjoy a Japanese feast – complete with live cooking stations – at the other onsite restaurant. Top up on light bites and cold drinks at the terrace café, and take in panoramic river views with a brew in the tea lounge.

All rooms at the hotel are air conditioned and feature a private balcony with river or city views.
