The Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah Hotel is a skyscraper hotel located in the Zamalek district of Cairo, Egypt. The modernist skyscraper is situated on Sharia el Orman and contains four large conference rooms. The discernible V-shaped support beams of the building evoke those at the Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1]
Completed in 1984, the 27-story building originally opened as the El Gezira Sheraton Hotel, operating as part of the Sheraton chain. The hotel closed in 2006 for extensive refurbishments and reopened one year later as part of the Accor Sofitel chain under its current name.[2]
