A five-star hotel at 1189 Corniche El Nil in Downtown Cairo, with rooms looking over the Nile or the city.
The short answer
St. Regis Cairo is a one-night hotel stay in Downtown Cairo, booked through Egypt Discovery.
Snapshot
02Overview
On the Corniche El Nil, the river is the first thing you notice about Downtown Cairo. Ask for a room facing the water and you can watch boats slide by while the city carries on around you; a room on the city side shows the streets and the pace of the neighbourhood instead.
The St. Regis Cairo makes a modern base for time in the capital, with the central business and cultural districts nearby. We book your room and send confirmation before you travel, and we are on hand if you need help along the way.
Background
St. Regis Cairo is a five-star hotel at 1189 Corniche El Nil in Downtown Cairo. It faces the Nile and has rooms with Nile or city views. Egypt Discovery, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, arranges the reservations.
The Corniche El Nil runs beside the river through the middle of Cairo. Downtown is a central district with business and cultural destinations, and the hotel's address puts it on the waterfront, not out in the suburbs.
Cairo grew into a major city after it was founded in 969 CE under the Fatimid dynasty. The Nile has shaped its settlement, transport and farming for thousands of years. Historic Cairo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a separate heritage area within the wider capital.
Views, rates, meal bases, check-in and check-out times and access to facilities depend on the booking you choose. Confirm whether breakfast is included and ask for a Nile-facing room when you reserve; views are subject to availability.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Many central hotels sit on older city streets, whereas the St. Regis Cairo is on the Nile-facing Corniche El Nil. We book rooms and help during your stay instead of reselling through an online travel marketplace.
Choose your room
A 44-square-metre room on the top floor, sleeping two, with a king bed and views of the city. Listed details include free wifi, a 40-inch LED television with satellite channels, an iPod dock and an espresso maker. Check the exact view and other details with the hotel before you book.
A 46-square-metre room on the top floor, sleeping two, with a king bed. Listed details include free wifi, a 40-inch LED television with satellite channels, an iPod dock, a mini-fridge and a minibar. The name promises a view, but confirm exactly what it looks onto when you book.
Dining
The amenities include a restaurant and a bar. We do not have the venue names, cuisines, opening hours or meal bases, so please confirm them before you choose a rate. Ask us whether your preferred rate includes breakfast and whether any table needs reserving. Menus and opening times change, so the hotel is the best source for current details. We can also explain what the rate you are considering includes.

Tailor it
Ask us to check availability for a Nile-view room, a particular room layout or a longer stay. We can also talk through breakfast and airport transfers, subject to availability and priced separately.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
A Downtown base before or after a Nile cruise that leaves from Luxor or Aswan. Combine it with sightseeing in central Cairo or a day trip to the Giza Plateau.
Accessibility
The St. Regis Cairo is on the Corniche El Nil, but access room by room and the step-free routes should be confirmed with the hotel before you book. Cairo's pavements and crossings can be uneven, and getting about the city can mean kerbs, crowds and steps at older cultural sites. Ask the hotel to confirm the entrance route, lift access, bathroom layout and whether your room category has a roll-in shower or other mobility features. We can pass your requirements to the hotel, but we cannot promise that every room or nearby attraction is wheelchair accessible.
Before you go
Ask us to confirm the minimum age, the child rate and the room occupancy rules for your dates, as these depend on the hotel's current policy and room category. A pushchair is more use inside the hotel than on Cairo's uneven pavements and busy streets. Contact the hotel before arrival to ask about cots, high chairs and other child equipment; the amenities list mentions a kids club.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
You will find the hotel at 1189 Corniche El Nil in Downtown Cairo, on the Nile riverfront. That puts it in the heart of the city, but we have no distances to specific sights or transport stops, so check the route for each destination. Traffic affects driving times, so build in some slack for journeys across town. For directions, transport options or estimated journey times, ask us to check the route for your plans.

One-night hotel stay at Jewel Sport City in Cairo arranged by our licensed Egyptian tour operator. We position this property as a practical overnight for airport connections and early departures rather than a central sightseeing base. Unlike central Cairo hotels, it suits short stops and early flights. We arrange private transfers and meet-and-greet on request. Rooms are straightforward and functional; do expect practical amenities rather than boutique design or extensive leisure facilities. Our drivers can collect or drop you at agreed times, and B&B or room-only options are available depending on your preference.

CairoAZAL Pyramids Hotel is a Giza property we arrange for travellers visiting the Giza Plateau. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and our Cairo team handles on-the-ground logistics. We prefer to schedule Pyramid visits early in the morning from Giza hotels to avoid afternoon traffic; we do not run large coach groups from here. Rooms are straightforward and some offer rooftop sightlines toward Khufu and the Sphinx; rooftop exposure and street noise vary. Unlike downtown Cairo hotels, a Giza base shortens transfers to the Giza Plateau. We can add private transfers and guided visits on request.
From £34
CairoPyramids Park Hotel sits on the western edge of the Giza Plateau with views of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we arrange private transfers, Pyramid-view rooms and early-access starts to the Giza Plateau to avoid midday heat. We do not run coach-group check-ins; most guests take our private car at dawn for an uninterrupted visit. Unlike hotels in central Cairo, staying here saves a cross-city taxi ride when visiting the Pyramids. Honest trade-offs: traffic and security vehicle movement can be audible at night, and Pyramid-view rooms are limited – book early.
