A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Nestled within the lush, historic gardens of Zamalek, the Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino stands as a beacon of luxury and heritage. Originally constructed in 1869 as the Gezirah Palace to accommodate dignitaries for the Suez Canal celebration, this iconic property seamlessly blends regal architecture with contemporary five-star amenities. The twin towers, among Cairo’s tallest, offer sweeping Nile vistas and are adorned with ornate marble, gilded accents, and sumptuous textiles that evoke the grandeur of a royal palace.
The hotel’s 1,060 guest rooms and suites have recently been refreshed to reflect modern luxury while honoring their palatial roots. Each room features plush beds with premium linens, high-speed complimentary Wi-Fi, espresso machines, stocked minibars, and 24-hour in-room dining. Most accommodations open onto private balconies—many framing panoramic views of the meticulously landscaped gardens or the Nile. Suites provide elevated comforts, including kitchenettes and cozy fireplaces, perfect for extended stays or entertaining.
Gastronomy is a highlight, with 14 distinctive restaurants serving everything from traditional Egyptian fare to Japanese, Italian, and global cuisines, available both indoors and in charming al fresco courtyards. Guests can unwind in a selection of refined lounges and cafes. Facilities include a state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, an expansive swimming pool oasis, and the renowned Omar Khayyam Casino for evenings of entertainment. The Saray Spa Cairo offers holistic wellness experiences with a Moroccan hammam, Turkish bath, and private couples’ suites, showcasing a menu of curated treatments. The hotel’s prime Zamalek location places you steps from Gabalaya Park and the iconic Cairo Tower, though many guests choose to begin their stay exploring the palace’s own museum-worthy corridors, filled with antiques and storied charm.
