Egypt’s Vintage Hotels were extemely popular in Victorian times amongst the elite in European society. Many of these hotels survived into the 21st century and have been resurrected as elite and romantic locations to stay. Plus, they still remain popular today.
Every country has its hidden gems and Egypt is no exception. We think Egypt’s historic hotels are some of the finest hidden gems in the country! In the past, their opulence and grandeur has been enjoyed by royalty and politicians from around the world. If only walls could talk! We would just love to hear those stories|
