Overlooking the Nile, a short felucca ride from Elephantine Island, Victorian architecture combines elegantly and effortlessly with sophisticated interior design by Sybille de Margerie. The hotel has recently re-opened after a complete renovation and offers stunning surroundings and guestrooms. Contemporary guestrooms are in the Nile Wing (former ‘New Cataract’ now converted to Nile View Wing) or classic garden view rooms are in the Old Cataract main building. There are a variety of dining options available and a traditional afternoon tea on the Promenade at sunset is a particularly memorable experience.
Immortalized by Agatha Christie, in her novel ‘Death on the Nile’ and boasting visits by many famous celebrities including Sir Winston Churchill and the Aga Khan, this historic hotel offers attentive service and first class amenities.
