Corinthia Hotel
Hotel category
Deluxe
Known locally as ‘Gaddafi’s Egg’ on account of its unusual shape and Libyan funding, The Corinthia Hotel, Khartoum undoubtedly provides the best accommodation in the Sudanese capital. Set amongst gardens and fountains at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile, this striking glass and steel landmark is located in the centre of Khartoum’s commercial district, and is well placed for exploring. The property’s 230 modern air-conditioned rooms and suites are spread over 18 floors and are either Nile or City facing. The rather sparsely furnished rooms all have luxurious marble bathrooms, Wi-Fi access, television with a wide selection of English and Arabic Channels, a spacious working area, minibar (non-alcoholic drinks only), and tea/coffee making facilities. Leisure facilities include the Sabratha Spa and Fitness centre with its Turkish Hamman, Gym, indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, massage rooms, squash and tennis courts. Dining at the Corinthia Hotel, Khartoum is offered at a selection of cafes and restaurants, including the Far Eastern inspired Rickshaw— the highest restaurant in the Sudanese capital.
