The historic Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo, overlooking the majestic Nile River in the heart of Tahrir Square, has celebrated its 10th anniversary since reopening in partnership with the world-renowned Ritz-Carlton brand.
Owned by Misr Hotels Company, a subsidiary of the Holding Company for Tourism and Hotels under Egypt’s Ministry of Public Enterprises, the hotel stands as a symbol of enduring elegance and hospitality in the Egyptian capital.

The initiative is part of a broader strategy to modernize Egypt’s state-owned hotels and strengthen partnerships with leading international hospitality companies, supporting world-class standards and enhancing Egypt’s competitive tourism sector.
Renovations are being carried out while maintaining uninterrupted service, so guests continue to enjoy the hotel’s signature hospitality. The project aims to further elevate operational efficiency and service quality, while meticulously preserving the hotel’s unique architectural and historical legacy. These efforts are part of Egypt’s vision to provide sustainability and excellence in tourism, both locally and regionally.
The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo boasts 329 luxurious rooms and suites, some with breathtaking views of the Nile or the city skyline. Its elegant interior design artfully combines modern comforts with historic touches that nod to its origins.
