Sofitel recently revealed its
ambitious strategic plan to elevate the brand into the premium-end
of the international luxury hotel market. As a part of the
re-positioning plan, Sofitel Luxury Hotels will broaden its luxury
offer with the creation of two sister brands, Sofitel Legend and So
by Sofitel, to address niche segments in the luxury market.
Currently, Sofitel announced the opening of legend hotel worldwide,
namely Sofitel El Gezirah. The new Sofitel creation is located in
the world’s most attractive destinations, by the artful blending
of its French origins and the very best of local cultures, to
provide unique holiday enjoyments to guests who are seeking for
ultimate luxury experiences.
Sofitel
El Gezirah: a
sanctuary on the Nile, in
the heart of
Cairo.
Tucked away on the island of
Gezirah in the heart of the Egyptian capital, the Sofitel El
Gezirah Hotel is a haven of tranquillity. The hotel now offers its
guests luxurious, refined architecture, high-tech facilities,
delightful cuisine in its five restaurants and, of course, a superb
spa.
“Egypt is a gift from the
Nile,” wrote the Greek historian Herodotus. This mythical river,
which paints a green valley across the middle of desert, flows
through Aswan, Luxor and, finally, Cairo, covering a distance of
over 6,600 kilometres. Along the way the Nile is dotted with
islands, including El Gezirah, located in Egyptian capital’s
centre. Here, to south of the chic Zamalek district where
magnificent villas have sprung up next to modern buildings, is the
Sofitel El Gezirah. Far from the bustling city centre, this
peaceful oasis with beautiful gardens is a destination of choice
for travellers seeking tranquillity. Thanks to its strategic
location – a few minutes’ walk from the Opera and the government
buildings – it is also a popular choice among business
travellers.
All areas of this
contemporary-style hotel have been revamped by renowned French
decorator Pierre-Yves Rochon, ensuring the utmost in elegance and
refined comfort. Pure lines, prestigious furnishings,
delicately-coloured fabrics and flooring, intelligent use of
lighting...all contribute to the ultimate refinement of this
exceptional venue. Upon arrival, one can delight in the calm airy
lobby, before discovering the charm of one of 50 suites or 383
spacious rooms. Each well-appointed room has a balcony from which
guests can take in the splendid view of the Nile and its feluccas.
In addition to this intimate comfort, guests can benefit from the
most modern equipment to remain in touch with the rest of the
world.
Because hospitality is a way of
life for Sofitel, the El Gezirah Hotel’ five restaurants combine
the very best of local culture with the Sofitel’s French Touch
offering a subtle mix of Oriental and Western cuisine. Guests will
also enjoy visiting one of the most famous restaurant-lounges, the
Buddha Bar, and winding up the evening on a playful note at the
Casino Barrière.
In addition to the pleasures of
fine dining, the hotel also proposes the benefits of its Spa
treatments. Far from the hubbub of the city, weary travellers can
relax in the hammam, sauna or the whirlpool bath, exercise in the
fitness room or in one of the two pools (outdoor and indoor), or
treat themselves to a massage or beauty treatment in a booth
overlooking the Nile.
The Sofitel El Gezirah, located
less than 5 hours by plane from Europe, is a stunning destination
for a weekend getaway and the chance to discover or revisit Cairo.
A not-to-be-missed opportunity to admire the masterpieces in the
Egyptian museum and the treasures of Oriental architecture, lose
one’s way in the khan el-Khalili souq or wander through the
Zamalek district, before returning to the hospitable atmosphere of
an exceptional hotel.
