With an impressive guest list from luminaries like Winston Churchill, Somerset Maugham, and Al Capone, the historic 4-star Steigenberger Cecil Hotel stands proudly in the most popular square in Alexandria. Built in 1929, the hotel still uses its original wooden elevators, and guest rooms are elegantly designed to reflect some of its original influences from the era—one of its suites actually served as the base for the British Secret Service's operations! Its central location is walking distance to the Corniche Road, where you can take a stroll along the Red Sea or enjoy exploring the nearby boutiques and cafes during your visit.
