Luxury hotel chain Kempinski has opened the first five-star boutique hotel in Egyptian capital Cairo, the Kempinski Nile.
Offering 137 rooms and 54 suites, the Kempinski Nile overlooks the banks of the famous river and is the latest hotel to open in the city undergoing a tourism boom.
The hotel is designed by French architect Pierre Yves Rochon, who is responsible for parts of the famed George V in Paris and the newly renovated The Savoy hotel in London.
Guests can choose from four restaurants, one of which has no menu – chefs are on hand to cook all dishes to order on request – and four bars, including a rooftop bar and shisha bar.
The hotel also offers a spa and health club, private balconies, marble bathrooms, a pillow concierge and a butler service for residents.
