Last April I visited Cairo to conduct a training session at a client of ours. I had a great time there with several people I trained and concluded the week with a two-day stay at the Sheraton hotel along the borders of the Nile. I stayed on the 25th and close to top floor, which had a breath-taking view over the Nile and the city itself.
Other than that the service at the hotel was excellent. I would rather have stayed at the Marriott in Cairo, which has an excellent reputation, but that was full already. The Sheraton however was a very good experience too, with arguably the best bed I’ve ever slept in.
I had one meal in one of the restaurants itself. The Japanese food they served was great. The other evening I had dinner in the garden of Marriott hotel. If you’re looking for a quiet afternoon in the heart of the city, the garden of the Marriott hotel really does the trick.
I would probably not go to the same hotel again anymore. Not because it hasn’t been a good experience for me, but because it wasn’t anything special. Next time, I’ll probably try to book the palatial Marriott.
Ah, and if you’re there, don’t forget to visit the Al-Azhar park and have a drink at Alain le Notre. Great atmosphere and one of those quiet getaways from the (very) busy parts of town.
