This neoclassical property proclaims its regal stance in its name, and follows up by sitting at the base of one of the most famous royal sites in history. This Four Seasons does not disappoint guests; it is the best choice by the pyramids for those who can afford it. The well-known shopping complex and commercial district surrounding the property is slowly gaining traction with the local population as well as international high-end tourists.
The grand lobby features an enormous chandelier glittering against the Egyptian murals painted on the ceiling.
The main dining room, Seasons, is illuminated
by a Murano glass chandelier and overlooks the city skyline, although most guests keep their eyes committed to the active open kitchen. The Italian cuisine is especially popular with locals. Spicy Thai dishes, prepared by experienced chefs, are served in surroundings lined with original artifacts and paintings.
The spa takes a holistic approach, utilizing local herbs and spices to enhance the beauty and massage treatments. Even local culture comes into play with a signature papyrus body wrap. A fully equipped workout center, sauna, and steam room supplement the facilities. Private cabanas ring the outdoor pool while open-air chaises longues are also available. Poolside food and drink service is popular for those taking
a day to relax. Meeting space and business facilities for close to 200 are available. Service standards are top-notch. Transport to the airport or on tours is by luxury car at a rate of US$200.
Accommodations are lavish in style and comfort with cloudlike carpeting leading to spacious guest rooms, many of which boast distant pyramid views (others overlook the active Nile). Plush fabrics swathe guests in luxury. Beds are made in Egyptian cotton linens. Cable TVs, phones with voice mail and data ports, and wireless high-speed Internet are in all. Other modern amenities include safes, minibars, bedside controls, hair dryers and coffeemakers. Architectural artwork lines the walls, highlighting scenes from Egypt's past. Baths are marble shrines boasting power showers, loads of toiletries, stacks of towels, makeup mirrors, robes, slippers and ultra-bright lighting.
Children and even pets are pampered with their own toys to keep busy. Housekeeping is the best in the city, arriving twice daily to refresh rooms. Room service never stops.
There is no outpost more elaborate than the Four Seasons near the pyramids, and the price is well worth it to be away from the masses.
