Cairo is a storied destination that has long mesmerized the global traveler with its incredible energy offering a mix of history, culture, tradition and glamour.

This new luxury landmark will introduce higher standards of hospitality to Egypt.

Rising tall on the banks of the River Nile, the new St. Regis Cairo will bring a powerful story of luxury in the region. Located at the North end of the Corniche, in the heart of Egypt’s bustling metropolis, the 39-story hotel offers easy access to the magnificent monuments of a city steeped in history.

A striking architecture created by renowned architect Michael Graves.

Graceful geometric lines flow throughout the high-end interiors, creating a repeated structural motif that quietly references the heritage of the region. Dark wood and rich textures combine with intricate embroidery, bejeweled paneling, bronze and wood carvings embellished with flashes of shimmering gold, mother of pearl inlays and imposing crystal chandeliers creating a dramatic Egyptian aesthetic with modern execution. A striking mural entitled “The Pink Sun” graces The St. Regis Bar. Staunchly modern in its execution, the mural references ancient Egypt and the birth of a modern civilization.
