SOFITEL WINTER PALACE

From your window or balcony, watch daily life unfold on the river or enjoy views of the vibrant, palm-filled gardens. To relax after a busy day, dive into the pool or rest under a shady palm tree with a mint tea or cocktail. Ask for a massage from Ashraf, whose magical fingers will melt any tiredness away. Afternoon tea is served in the majestic Victorian Lounge, a place much admired by King Farouk.
