The legendary Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel, built in 1899 in British colonial style and on pink granite, is located directly on the eastern bank of the Nile opposite Elephantine Island. The hotel combines 5-star luxury and an ambience steeped in history to create an exclusive experience of a special kind. Numerous celebrities have stayed here since its opening and as soon as you enter the hotel, you feel transported back to another world with its authentic and largely oriental furnishings and decoration. The complex is embedded in a well-tended garden and the view of the Nile and the cataract is simply unique.
The hotel has a gym and two pools: an open-air pool directly on the Nile with a grill bar and a stylish indoor pool, which is part of the exclusive wellness area. In culinary terms, you have the choice between five first-class restaurants with Mediterranean, Oriental or French cuisine. Whether you dine in the stylish oriental-style "1902" with its magnificent dome and beamed ceiling, in the "Saraya" with its tasteful Moorish ambience or on the terrace of the "Oriental Kebabgy" with its wonderful view of the Nile, the authenticity and attention to detail will leave a lasting impression. In addition to the aforementioned pool bar, the hotel has a piano bar, a juice bar & lounge with a view of the garden and the almost legendary "Promenade" bar with its unique view of the first cataract of the Nile.
The Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel has 130 spacious double rooms in various sizes with Nile or garden views, as well as seven suites. You can choose between the classic elegance of the Old Palace Wing or the modern design of the Nile Wing. Depending on the price category, some rooms have a balcony, others have large windows.
