"My husband and I traveled to Egypt on holiday in Sept 2009 and we tried a variety of 5 star hotels in Cairo including the Four Seasons First Residence, the Mena House Oberoi, and the Villa Belle Epoque bed and breakfast. We loved our stay at the Four Seasons First Residence. While the location is not within walking distance to the pyramids or museum, it's still close enough for a cheap cab ride. Taxis abound and the traffic is not nearly as bad as we thought. The service is impecable, and the rooms are quite spacious and finely appointed with lovely views of the Nile or the pyramids. Swimming pool is well maintained, and there are a number of high-end restaurants and shops in the adjacent mall. The concierge was extremely helpful in addressing all our needs. We found Cairo to be a bit hectic, but all this dissolved away the minute we stepped into the Four Seasons hotel. There are two locations, but the First Residence is more magnificent in our opinion. The tea lounge is a nice place to sit for a drink and a chat. If you can afford this expensive hotel, it's worth every penny. I highly recommend this hotel for business travelers and luxury vacationers!"
