Two worlds – and the dividing line is not the price
We grouped our Egyptian properties by place, price, programme and what the rate includes. The difference that separates them most sharply is not the price but what sits inside the rate.Sofitel Cairo Nile El GezirahThree properties are all-inclusive, and all three are on the Red Sea: the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (from around 278 €), the Rixos Premium Magawish Hurghada (from around 269 €) and the Rixos Premium Seagate Sharm el Sheikh (from around 245 €). No other destination of ours has this segment at all.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comFor two of the three the condition is expressly recorded: all-inclusive applies to two people and is not combinable with every rate. So we confirm it for your travel dates rather than promising it flatly.
The counterweight is the 13 properties in Cairo, with a middle entry of around 185 € – clearly below the national midpoint of around 218 €. The seven properties on the Red Sea, by contrast, have a middle entry of around 260 €. Here the cities are the cheaper part of the country and the resorts the expensive one.
One more finding divides cleanly: all 13 properties in Cairo belong to a points programme. The only two properties in Egypt without one both sit outside the capital – and they happen to be the two most expensive in the country.
suitespot rates are full direct rates: the benefits come on top of the regular rate.
The regions one by one
Fifteen of our 26 properties sit in Cairo and Giza, seven on the Red Sea and four in single locations. One note first: our place names come from the hotel data, which occasionally files the same locality under two different names. So we name the properties individually.
Cairo and Giza: 15 properties, every one in a programme
The upper end is held by the The St. Regis Cairo (from around 269 €), followed by the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis (from around 245 €), the JW Marriott Hotel Cairo (from around 231 €) and the Giza Palace (from around 223 €).The Chedi El Gouna · HurghadaIn the middle sit the The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo (from around 221 €), the InterContinental Citystars Cairo (from around 215 €), the Kempinski Palace Cairo (from around 191 €), the InterContinental Cairo Semiramis (from around 185 €) and the Renaissance Cairo Mirage City Hotel (from around 176 €).
The cheaper end is made up of the Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah (from around 163 €), the Kempinski Nile Garden City Cairo (from around 150 €), the The St. Regis New Capital Cairo (from around 145 €), the Fairmont Nile City Cairo (from around 140 €), the Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile (from around 138 €) and the Hyatt Centric Cairo West (from around 126 €) – the lowest entry in the whole country.
The Red Sea: seven properties, three of them all-inclusive
Around Hurghada sit the Rixos Premium Magawish Hurghada (from around 269 €, all-inclusive), the The Chedi El Gouna (from around 260 €) and the Serry Beach Resort Hurghada (from around 259 €).
At Sharm El Sheikh follow the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (from around 278 €, all-inclusive) – the most expensive property that carries a programme – and the Rixos Premium Seagate Sharm el Sheikh (from around 245 €, all-inclusive).
Then come the Kempinski Soma Bay (from around 180 €) and, on the same coast, the La Maison Bleue El Gouna (from around 329 €).
Four properties that stand alone
On the Nile at Aswan sits the Old Cataract Aswan (from around 440 €) – the most expensive property in Egypt and, like the La Maison Bleue El Gouna, with no points programme.
Then the Al Moudira Hotel Al Qarna (from around 259 €), the country's only Relais & Châteaux property, the Rixos Montaza Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast (from around 190 €) and the Rixos Premium Alamein (from around 129 €).
What a night costs – and which is the most expensive hotel in Egypt
Entry rates run from around 126 € at the Hyatt Centric Cairo West to around 440 € at the Old Cataract Aswan. The middle of the field sits at around 218 €.The St. Regis CairoThe most expensive hotel in Egypt is therefore the Old Cataract Aswan on the Nile, followed by the La Maison Bleue El Gouna (around 329 €) and the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (around 278 €).
Between the cheapest and the most expensive property lies a factor of only 3.5 – a remarkably narrow field. In Egypt you are therefore choosing less between prices than between kinds of stay.
Five properties start below 150 €: the Hyatt Centric Cairo West (around 126 €), the Rixos Premium Alamein (around 129 €), the Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile (around 138 €), the Fairmont Nile City Cairo (around 140 €) and the The St. Regis New Capital Cairo (around 145 €).
Five start above 265 €: the Old Cataract Aswan, the La Maison Bleue El Gouna, the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh, the Rixos Premium Magawish Hurghada and the The St. Regis Cairo.
Programmes, credits – and one amount that comes out lower than the rule
24 of our 26 properties belong to a points programme, across nine different ones:
ALL (Accor) with eight properties – by far the largest –, Marriott Bonvoy with five, GHA Discovery with three, IHG One Rewards and the Leaders Club with two each, plus Hilton Honors, I Prefer, Relais & Châteaux and World of Hyatt with one each.
Only two properties belong to no programme – and that is the remarkable part: they are the two most expensive in the country, the Old Cataract Aswan (around 440 €) and the La Maison Bleue El Gouna (around 329 €). In Egypt you therefore have an almost free choice as a points collector – except right at the top.
A hotel credit comes with 20 of the 26 properties, usually 100 USD. Only 50 USD come with the three Kempinski properties, and the Kempinski Palace Cairo adds 50 USD for food and drink on top.
One amount comes out lower than the rule, and we say so: at the Hyatt Centric Cairo West it is 25 USD, not 100 USD. That is expressly stated in the property's own conditions.
One property goes the other way: the The St. Regis New Capital Cairo carries an additional 100 USD for the spa, plus a continental breakfast as a separate benefit.
Six properties carry no credit: the Al Moudira Hotel Al Qarna, the Giza Palace, the JW Marriott Hotel Cairo, the La Maison Bleue El Gouna, the Renaissance Cairo Mirage City Hotel and the The Chedi El Gouna.
Complimentary internet comes with 21 of the 26, a welcome gift with 18 of the 26.
Suites, room sizes and a minimum stay that for once agrees
Here we have to qualify more heavily than usual. Our room data holds 491 categories for Egypt, of which 107 are expressly recorded as suites and 166 as rooms – but 218 are not typed at all. That is by far the largest gap across our destinations, and we would rather say so than quote a figure that hides it.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comSix properties are entirely untyped: the Giza Palace (23 of 23), the Rixos Premium Magawish Hurghada (20 of 20), the Rixos Premium Seagate Sharm el Sheikh (14 of 14), the Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah (14 of 14), the InterContinental Cairo Semiramis (10 of 10) and the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (10 of 10). Plus the The St. Regis Cairo, where 49 of 68 categories carry no type. For those we claim nothing.
Two properties, by contrast, allow a statement in the other direction: the La Maison Bleue El Gouna lists six of six categories as suites and the Al Moudira Hotel Al Qarna five of five – in both cases without a single untyped category. There the suite is not the exception but the whole property.
Where the data otherwise holds: the The St. Regis Cairo lists 13 suites, the The St. Regis New Capital Cairo likewise 13 of 36, the InterContinental Citystars Cairo eleven of 29, the Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile eight of 36, the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis eight of 27 and the Old Cataract Aswan six of eight.
For room sizes we can give: Kempinski Nile Garden City Cairo 33 to 300 m², Old Cataract Aswan 45 to 175 m², Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis 44 to 163 m², InterContinental Citystars Cairo 29 to 135 m², Kempinski Soma Bay 39 to 120 m², La Maison Bleue El Gouna 80 to 120 m² and Kempinski Palace Cairo 35 to 119 m².
On minimum stays Egypt is unusually clear. 13 properties expressly record none.
Two properties name two nights – and for both the booking field confirms the same figure: the Rixos Montaza Alexandria and the Rixos Premium Alamein. Both sources agreeing is the exception in our data, not the rule.
One contradiction remains: the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh records no minimum stay in its benefit list but two nights in the booking field. Where the sources disagree we claim no figure and confirm the condition for your travel dates.

Frequently asked questions about luxury hotels in Egypt
What does a luxury hotel in Egypt cost?
Entry rates across our 26 properties run from around 126 € at the Hyatt Centric Cairo West to around 440 € at the Old Cataract Aswan a night. The middle of the field sits at around 218 €.
The field sits unusually close together: between the cheapest and the most expensive property lies a factor of only 3.5.
Every single one of the 26 properties carries an entry rate – that is rare for us.
Which is the most expensive hotel in Egypt?
The Old Cataract Aswan on the Nile, from around 440 € a night. It lists six of eight categories as suites, at 45 to 175 m².
Then follow the La Maison Bleue El Gouna (around 329 €) and the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (around 278 €).
Notably: the country's two most expensive properties are also the only two with no points programme.
Are there all-inclusive luxury hotels in Egypt?
Yes, three – and all three are on the Red Sea: the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (from around 278 €), the Rixos Premium Magawish Hurghada (from around 269 €) and the Rixos Premium Seagate Sharm el Sheikh (from around 245 €).
For two of the three the condition is expressly recorded: all-inclusive applies to two people and is not combinable with every rate. We confirm it for your travel dates.
In all 23 other properties breakfast for two is included, and in 20 of them a hotel credit on top.
Are there suites in Egypt's luxury hotels?
Yes, and we give the figure with a clear caveat. In our data 107 of the 491 categories are expressly recorded as suites – but 218 categories are not typed at all, more than at any other destination of ours.
Two small properties are unambiguous: the La Maison Bleue El Gouna lists six of six categories as suites, the Al Moudira Hotel Al Qarna five of five.
Among the larger properties the The St. Regis Cairo lists 13 suites, the The St. Regis New Capital Cairo likewise 13 of 36 and the InterContinental Citystars Cairo eleven of 29.
Do I earn points on suitespot bookings in Egypt?
At 24 of our 26 properties, across nine different programmes.
ALL (Accor) is the largest with eight properties, followed by Marriott Bonvoy with five and GHA Discovery with three. IHG One Rewards and the Leaders Club hold two each, Hilton Honors, I Prefer, Relais & Châteaux and World of Hyatt one each.
All 13 properties in Cairo belong to a programme. The only two without are the Old Cataract Aswan and the La Maison Bleue El Gouna.
Is there a hotel credit in Egypt?
At 20 of our 26 properties, usually 100 USD.
Two deviations we name expressly: at the Hyatt Centric Cairo West it is 25 USD rather than 100. The The St. Regis New Capital Cairo, conversely, carries an additional 100 USD for the spa.
Only 50 USD come with the three Kempinski properties; at the Kempinski Palace Cairo another 50 USD for food and drink is added.
Six properties carry no credit, among them the The Chedi El Gouna and the Giza Palace.
Is there a minimum stay in Egypt?
13 properties expressly record none – half of our selection.
Two properties name two nights, the Rixos Montaza Alexandria and the Rixos Premium Alamein. For both the booking field confirms the same figure, which is the exception in our data.
One contradiction remains: the Rixos Sharm El Sheikh records no minimum stay in its benefit list but two nights in the booking field. We claim no figure there and clarify the condition before booking.
Where should I stay in Egypt?
Fifteen of our 26 properties sit in Cairo and Giza, and they are the cheaper part of the country: a middle entry of around 185 € against around 218 € nationally, and every one of them belongs to a points programme.
Seven properties sit on the Red Sea, with midpoints around 260 € – and three of them are all-inclusive.
Four stand alone: the Old Cataract Aswan on the Nile (from around 440 €), the Al Moudira Hotel Al Qarna, the Rixos Montaza Alexandria on the Mediterranean and the Rixos Premium Alamein.
