The hotel at a glance

The Villa Belle Epoque is an upscale boutique hotel located in the southern district of Maadi, approximately 15 kilometers from the city center of Cairo. Since its foundation at the beginning of the 20th century on the east bank of the Nile, this carefully planned district has been synonymous with privilege. It was here that the wealthy, cosmopolitan residents of Cairo built their stately residences and filled their sprawling gardens with a breathtaking variety of exotic plants and trees. Even though urbanization has left its mark in recent decades, Maadi is still the "villa district" of Cairo, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.

The pool area

The Villa Belle Epoque was built in the 1920s and thoroughly renovated for its opening to reflect its colonial origins. Set in 1,300 m² of grounds, the hotel, swimming pool, sun terraces and patios are surrounded by lemon, mango, olive and guava trees intermingled with century-old palm trees. Villa Belle Epoque, with its 33 accommodations, is decorated in colonial style and adorned with contemporary Egyptian artwork. Here, guests can relive the comfort and elegance of a bygone era while enjoying all modern amenities. A metro station, which takes about 20 minutes to reach the city center, can be reached on foot in just under 15 minutes.

The lobby

Part of the boutique hotel is a further stylish residence, which is located directly next door and has it's own pool. It houses a number of apartments with cooking facilities, which are perfect for a longer stay with self-catering. Another highlight is the in-house restaurant "Acacia", a well-known fine-dining restaurant with excellent Arabic, Asian and international dishes prepared by renowned chefs. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be enjoyed in the stylish restaurant, in the beautiful garden or by the pool. The hotel also offers a fitness room and a sauna. Wifi is available free of charge throughout the hotel.
