Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel

Hotel category Deluxe

Majestically positioned on a shelf of pink granite overlooking the Nile, the luxurious Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel was built in 1899 and is one of the gems of Egypt in terms of its charm and character. Behind the Victorian façade, the hotel retains its original beauty, receiving guests in an historic lobby complete with polished marble floors, and high classic Islamic arches that are reminiscent of Granada’s Alhambra. The hotel offers two different luxury experiences within its premises, in which heritage is preserved in the old Palace Wing’s 76 rooms and suites, while contemporary elegance has been lavishly designed in the Nile Wing’s 62 rooms and suites.
The Old Cataract’s grand shaded terrace is THE place to enjoy High Tea in Egypt and has what is arguably the most sought after views in the country. A choice of dining options is offered at the hotel ranging from Mediterranean fare at Oriental Kebabgy with its spectacular terrace overlooking the Nile, to the famous 1902 restaurant where fine dining is offered in an ambiance that invokes the atmosphere of the Thousand and One Nights. Leisure facilities at the Old Cataract Aswan include an outdoor heated swimming pool, and a Spa where rejuvenating treatments from around the world are on offer in addition to an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam and gymnasium.
