First Hilton hotel on the African continent. Opened in 1958 by الرئيس . His "bust" or rather a plaque on the wall with his face was behind the Reception.
Now I understand to become a "Ritz" after a US$100 million renovation.
Let's hope the same staff are doing the breakfast. Best morning ful in Cairo's hotels.
One of my biggest disappointmnets in the bar there on a trip from Kuwait. I spied a Guiness tap and said "I'll have one of those please" with the largest smile on my face only for the barman to say "We haven't had that for years you can have a Heiniken".

ReplyDeleteThat was part of the charm. Not really renovated since the Revolution.
Besides isn't breakfast a little early for a Guiness? :)
