1089 Corniche El Nil, P.O. Box 63 Maglis El Shaab, Garden City 11519, Cairo, Egypt
The 30-storey luxury hotel Four Seasons Nile Plaza towers amid Cairo's arcing chaos, heat and extraordinary population. The megatropolis looks like it's hopped straight out of a minaretted Blade Runner, except it doesn't do rain, it does dust. But walking into the Four Seasons' unhurried, immaculate reception area feels like an upgrade in itself as you leave the incredible hustle of outside behind. It's hard to imagine the clamour after slick receptionists with aerodynamic hairdos have magicked you and your luggage away to your room. It's just as an expensive, luxury hotel should be - brassy and excessive, yet simultaneously discreet and reserved.
