Here is a list of some hotels at Alexandria City:
Mid-range
Holiday Hotel, 6 OrabiSq, ☎ +20-3-4801559. A no-frills two-star hotel with private bathrooms and hot water, popular with overland trucks setting off down into the heart of Africa. Not far from the shore and within walking distance from the center of town. Watch out for bedbugs.
Hotel Delta, 14 Champollion Street, Mazarita (Just at the Tram stop), ☎ +20-3-4865188 (fax: +20-3-4865630). Modern concrete block with 63 rooms, some overlooking the sea. Aircon, cable TV. Not far from the Alexandria Library. US$117.
Splurge
Most of Alexandria's top-end hotels are located along the shore to the east, a fair distance away from the old city core.
El-Salamlek Palace, Montazah Palace, ☎ +20-3-5477999. Housed in the vast grounds of the Montazah Palace, this hotel was built as a lodge for the guests of Khedive Abbas Helmi II in 1892. Now a five-star hotel and casino, the setting certainly is opulent but, for the price tag, service seems to be terrible. The location in the vast, gated grounds at the far eastern end of the city, 10 km from the center, is also quite inconvenient for sightseeing, but if you're looking for peace and quiet (always a rare commodity in Egypt), this is the place.US$400.
Four Seasons San Stefano, 399 El Geish Road, ☎ +20-3-5818000 (fax: +20-3-5818080. Edging the Mediterranean in a setting of legendary glamour, discover an intimate enclave within the stately Grand Plaza shopping and residential complex. Indulge in classically elegant accommodations, European spa treatments and terraced restaurants with fresh sea breezes. Four Seasons care outshines all else in Alexandria. Alexandria's top hotel and priced to match. US$500.
Helnan Palestine, Monteza. The hotel, most recently refurbished in 2002, is set on the Mediterranean Sea and is surrounded by 350 acres of gardens and beaches. It faces the Montaza Royal Palace, once home to the royal family. US$100.
Hilton Alexandria Green Plaza, 14th of May Bridge Road, ☎ +20 3 4209120 (fax: +20 3 4209140). Officially only a three-star hotel, but much better than you'd expect in this class. US$200.
Mercure Romance Alexandria, 303 Tareek El Gueish, ☎ +20 3 5840911-12.
Le Metropole, 52, SaadZaghloul St. (near el-Raml station), ☎ +203-486-1465 (fax: +203-486-2040). Opened in 1902, this is one of Alexandria's two grand old hotels. Recently given a half-hearted renovation, still keeping the turn-of-the-century style. Centrally located on Alexandria's main street, which is handy for sightseeing, but lower floor rooms (esp. those facing the back) can be very noisy. Internet is available but can be spotty.
Renaissance Alexandria, 544 El Geish Avenue, SidiBishr, ☎ +20 3 549 0935 (fax: +20 3 5497690. The new hotel will provide 158 stylish renovated guest rooms and suites, excellent dining, 1000 square meters of meeting facilities and a selection of new restaurants and lounges. Additional amenities include an open air pool, 24 hours full service fitness center, private beach, business center, gift shop and laundry. US$150.
Sheraton Montazah, Corniche Road, ☎ +20 3 5480550. Located on the far (eastern) end of the Corniche. Small, shabby and in need of renovation.
Sofitel Cecil Alexandria, 16 SaadZagloul Square, ☎ +20 3 4877173 (fax: +20 3 4855655). Alexandria's other grand old hotel, many of whose rooms are named after famous guests like Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill. If you're looking for historical character and a central location, the Cecil is not a bad pick, and the soundproofing is somewhat better than at the Metropole. Downsides: No Internet, hard beds, and ludicrously slow service in the restaurants.
Radisson Blu hotel, Alex West, ☎ +20 (3) 5896000 (fax: +2 03 5896020). Located up against the water in the trendy Alex West district.
