This was one of the most opulent hotels that I have ever experienced. At its opening in 2017, it must have been one of the most exquisite hotels anywhere: a man-made sandy beach, tennis courts, football (soccer) field, cinema, and usual amenities like restaurants, gym, and an opulent lobby. Five years later, the beach is closed and under repair, and some parts of the resort need some repainting and repair. The core building, however, is absolutely stunning. The pool is beautiful and the service was superb. The food and attention from the staff were excellent. It is located about 45 minutes from downtown Cairo, in an area that was desert 10 years ago. There are literally, thousands of newly-constructed apartment complexes for miles. They are unoccupied, but when the estimated 5 million people move into the new administrative district in the next decade, this resort will be the center of probably any luxury stay.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and the staff decorated our room for a wonderful surprise for her. Kudos to the staff and management at St. Regis. Thank you for a memorable experience. We look forward to our next stay!
