Barcelo Cairo Pyramids
229 Al Haram Street, Gizah
Cairo, Egypt
Style: Traditional Elegance
Atmosphere: Secluded
Text size:
Cairo today is a cosmopolitan and sophisticated city, massive and dense, arguably the capital of the Middle East — so it’s a city with plenty of demand for stylish and contemporary hotels. There was a time, of course, when it was the center of all civilization. The Barceló Cairo Pyramids makes the most of both the old and the new Cairo — it’s a chic and modern high-end hotel, just a few minutes from the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, and a few more minutes from Cairo’s city center.
It’s a part of the Spanish-based Barceló chain, but that shouldn’t put you off — most of Cairo’s best hotels are imports. Maybe it’s thanks to the company’s house style, but the Barceló is refreshingly free of Orientalist references. From the photos it may come off a bit rootless, but a quick look out the window, with the Pyramids in the distance, instantly establishes a sense of place.
By the standards of some of the luxury hotels in Cairo, the Barceló looks ever so slightly humble — but in this town that just means no spa. By most people’s standards, however, it’s more than comfortable enough, with 24-hour room service, a rooftop pool, three restaurants and three bars, and of course that priceless view of the monuments at Giza.
How to get there:
Barcelo Cairo Pyramids is approximately a 30-40 minute drive from Cairo International Airport. A taxi ride will cost approximately 90 Egyptian pounds ($16 USD) one way.
