Frommer's "The food at the Terrace is mediocre, but it's a favorite lounging spot for Egypt's TV and movie glitterati and enjoys a steady clientele of those who want to see and be seen." Full review
Concierge "With 1,089 rooms, this Marriott on the Nile island of Zamalek is Cairo's largest hotel."
DK Eyewitness "The former palace has undergone a great deal of change but it still boasts some glorious public spaces and the nicest garden in town."
Rough Guide "A classy five-star where you can choose between garden rooms or slightly pricier tower rooms with a better view."
Fodor's "The centerpiece of this large hotel is a breathtaking palace built by Khedive Isma'il to give French Empress Eugénie a suitable place to stay on her visit for the opening of the Suez Canal." Full review

Rough Guide "Just over Tahrir Bridge in Gezira, this hotel is rather ugly on the outside but cool and stylish inside, with modern cream and beige rooms, plus deluxe accessories such as a/c and plasma TV."
Star Service "The main lobby, located on the second floor of the palace, is decorated with artifacts from the hotel's long history. It is a blend of Arabic and European influences. " Full review
Lonely Planet "Convenient location, sparkling new facilities and a pool are the selling points here, and more than make up for the somewhat generic chain feel." Full review
