Luxury hotels in Egypt at a glance

Typical prices across the country run from € 113 to € 204 depending on where you go, which is a wider gap than most travellers expect within one country.

What to look for in luxury hotels in Egypt

Properties rated five stars. Star ratings are awarded nationally and the criteria differ sharply from one country to the next: five stars in Southeast Asia and five stars in Switzerland describe different buildings at very different prices. The guest score alongside the stars is the better guide to whether a property is actually good.

Before you book, check

  • The guest rating as well as the stars. A five-star hotel scoring 7.5 is telling you something.
  • What is included beyond the room: breakfast, spa access, airport transfer, club lounge.
  • Whether a service charge or city tax is added at check-out, which at this level can be a substantial sum.
  • Cancellation terms, which are frequently stricter at the top of the market.
The thing people get caught by

At this price point the difference between the cheapest and the best-value room in the same hotel is often small, while the difference in the room is large. Look one category up before you book the entry-level room.

Worth it for: Occasions, long-haul arrivals where the first night matters, and destinations where five stars costs what three stars does at home.
