Best hotels in Egypt

We've uncovered the ultimate places to stay in Egypt, from those with direct access to private beaches to eco-lodges deep in the desert. Egypt is home to some of the world’s most storied hotels — grand colonial properties where Howard Carter, Sir Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie pulled up their steamer trunks and carried out their best works, the promise of an afternoon tea or a sunset G&T never far away.

Alongside historic properties are uber-luxe towers in Cairo with world-class restaurants and bars; beach resorts on the Red Sea with every amenity and activity on offer; boutique properties strung along the Nile Valley, which draw heavily on Arabic design traditions; and desert eco-lodges with a focus on sustainability and community. Guaranteed in all is Egypt’s hospitality — you’ll be made to feel right at home wherever you choose to stay. Here are the best hotels in Egypt.
