Cairo's Latest Luxury Hotel Is a 560-Room Palace
Just a short drive from the Grand Egyptian Museum and the timeless silhouettes of the Pyramids, Giza Palace Cairo—the metropolis's newest luxury hotel—has officially opened its doors. Developed by Egypt's Travco Group and newly listed among 'The Leading Hotels of the World,' the hotel spans 33,000 square metres and houses 560 rooms and suites.
Set within a fast-changing pocket of West Cairo—where glassy developments, residential projects, and dining hubs have steadily taken root—Giza Palace Cairo introduces a space that folds Egyptian aesthetics into a contemporary urban setting.
Inside, the offering leans lifestyle-forward: a Mediterranean restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Sergi Arola, the international concept Beefbar, a sprawling spa, rooftop padel court, and a ballroom with space for over a thousand guests.
Concierge services cover the usual circuits—private pyramid tours, bespoke Nile cruises—but filtered through a sleeker lens. The result is a hotel that seems designed to bridge Cairo's ancient pull with its more polished, present-day ambitions.
