With a superb location, excellent value, and an atmospheric resort feel, this hotel is a great choice. An outdoor area with two swimming pools forms the focal point, where you will be captivated by the sensational views of the pyramids. The main pool is busier, with a central canopy-shaded pool bar and deck, while the smaller second pool is quieter, with in-water loungers, waterfall features and glorious views. For dining, there’s a choice of two restaurants and relaxed cafés. Latest Recipe is the hotel’s all-day dining venue with an international buffet and à la carte dining, while Gardenia Oriental restaurant has daily live entertainment and an outdoor shisha area. The Harris Café is the ideal place to grab a coffee or pastry, while the Shisha Café is a more authentic experience, with flavoured shisha and speciality teas. The contemporary Explore Spa has three signature packages – unwind, rejuvenate or pampering – as well as various individual massage treatments. Rooms here are spacious, decorated in warm colours with European and Egyptian influences. They’re split between the new wing or the fully refurbished original wing, and you’ll be able to choose between views of the city, pool or pyramids.
The First Residence sets superlative standards. Diverse dining options reflect the style of the hotel – contemporary comfort in an inimitably Egyptian setting – with a French inspired brasserie and poolside Lebanese restaurant alongside a cocktail bar and sophisticated tea lounge. Afternoon tea here is special. Take a seat under the striking stained glass ‘ocular’ window and savour speciality teas, delicate French pastries and Arabic sweets delivered with elegance. Guests will also have access to The First Nile Boat, with three additional restaurants serving Asian, Brazilian and Greek food as well as a burger bar. Wonderful Nile views provide the backdrop to the hotel, and you’ll be able to see the Pyramids of Giza in the distance. Outside on a fourth-floor terrace you’ll find a pool and sun deck, while from the ground floor you can reach the adjoining First Mall shopping centre. The hotel’s Spa & Wellness Centre is on the fourth floor and has treatment rooms where you can have a soothing massage to views of the Nile. Spacious rooms and suites are beautifully appointed in warm colours with views of the Nile and swimming pool, or Botanical Gardens and pyramids. Superior Rooms are cosy with neutral furnishings and views out across the pool to the Nile, or to the pyramids and gardens.
