Mercure Cairo Le Sphinx

The 5-star Mercure Cairo Le Sphinx offers luxury comfort and accommodation that is exceeded only by its exceptional views. Boasting a beautiful spa and impressive selection of bars and restaurants, this hotel is a must for those wishing to experience the awe-inspiring pyramids.

Located in Giza, roughly 16km from Cairo city centre, the hotel is a short drive from Egypt’s largest pyramids and its namesake, the Great Sphinx. Cairo’s many attractions include the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, the Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the Mosque of Ibn Tulun.

The hotel occupies an exotic property that reflects the local architecture while offering guests thoroughly modern facilities. The spa consists of a Jacuzzi, sauna, fitness centre and a variety of massage treatments. An outdoor swimming pool skirted by deckchairs and palm trees affords views of the distant pyramids, while elsewhere can be found a snooker table and children’s playground.

The R&J restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, serving a selection of grilled meats along with French and Egyptian wine. Le Sphinx Roof restaurant (open April-November) serves dinner only, cooking delicious barbeque food that can be enjoyed on the terrace. There are also several bars including the suave Mirage Club which provides musical entertainment as well as serving food. Room service and a breakfast buffet are also available.

Guest rooms with a garden view are designed in a warm and inviting style, employing rich colours reminiscent of the dusk-soaked desert. Notable amenities include internet access, a mini bar and a private bathroom with shower or bathtub. Some rooms also come with a balcony. Free parking is available onsite.
