Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at the First Residence

What the classifiers highlight

On the Nile's west bank, this was Four Seasons' first hotel in Egypt, and its 262 rooms, starting at 452 square feet, rank among Cairo's largest. Forbes points to Aura, where Syrian chef Nidal El Hamoud cooks modern Shami, a floating nightlife venue named First Nile Boat, and a spa couple's suite with sauna and whirlpool over the river.
