About
Kempinski Palace Cairo
Kempinski Palace Cairo occupies a prime spot in New Cairo, a sprawling district on the southeastern edge of the city. The hotel is set about 3.8 km from Masjid Alzahraa and offers courtyard views from many of its rooms. It's a short drive from Cairo International Airport and many business hubs, making it a practical base for both leisure and work.
The property feels like a palace in both scale and style. Rooms are spacious, some with balconies, separate tubs and showers, and thoughtful touches like bathrobes and slippers. Dining is diverse, with a Lebanese restaurant, Thai and pasta options, a steakhouse, and a lounge bar.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location feels isolated — While quiet and close to the airport and business districts, the surrounding area may not feel secure to some guests, and there's little within walking distance.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is between 09:00 and 12:00, which may feel rushed for a leisure stay. Late check-out is not guaranteed.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
