The historic former Nile Hilton is set to open this summer as the Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo, following a complete renovation of the 50-year-old property’s guestrooms, public spaces and facilities. Located between the Nile and Tahrir Square, the hotel offers easy access to the city’s top attractions and landmarks, including the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, home to the King Tut exhibition.

“The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo will amplify the hotel’s classic legacy with a contemporary approach. As a brand, we are proud of instilling in all our properties a distinct personality rooted in a sense of place and history,” commented Herve Humler, president and chief operations officer, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. “By complementing the property’s natural strengths with our focus on bespoke service, diverse experiences and rich memories, we aim to reinstate the hotel as pride of national tourism in the country.”

In addition to 331 guestrooms, including 50 suites, the hotel features a variety of ultra-modern facilities, including an Olympic-size pool with 17 private cabanas, a spa, a new conference center and ample meeting and event space. Dining options span Arabian, Italian and continental cuisine. The Nile Ritz-Carlton joins The Ritz-Carlton portfolio of 88 hotels and resorts.
