This guide shares the best hotels in Giza and Cairo that offer stunning views of the iconic pyramids. If you’re planning your stay in Egypt and looking for the perfect accommodation with one of the oldest vistas in the world, you’ve come to the right place. So let’s get started and take a look at the best places to stay in the region, with that all-important pyramid view.
Marriott Mena House, Cairo
The historic Marriott Mena House is one of the best places to stay in Cairo but has the bonus of stunning views of the pyramids. Set in beautiful gardens but still really close to the iconic Giza Plateau, the hotel gives you a great choice of rooms and suites, which feature private balconies or terraces overlooking the iconic pyramids. Now you can’t beat that!
With a heritage dating back to 1869, the hotel isn’t quite as old as the pyramids but still provides a taste of Egypt’s more modern history. So whether you’re a history buff or are simply seeking somewhere to stay for a romantic escape with an epic view, Mena House promises all this and more. And with attentive staff and exquisite dining options to boot, this hotel is easily one of the best hotels near the pyramids.
Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa, Giza
Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa is another hotel located near the Giza Plateau that offers a remarkable stay with stunning views of the pyramids. While a number of the rooms offer the chance to wake up to the pyramids as your backdrop, all guests can make the most of the unobstructed pyramid vistas from the hotel’s epic rooftop terrace.
Beyond the views, the hotel offers a range of modern amenities and restaurants serving up delicious Egyptian and international cuisine. And for a spot of relaxation after a busy day sightseeing, the hotel’s spa facilities are ideal.
Pyramids View Inn, Giza
The Pyramids View Inn absolutely lives up to its name, giving unobstructed views from the rooftop terrace and a number of the rooms too. But in a city where a room with a view often comes at a premium, this budget inn is the perfect choice for travellers looking for an authentic and affordable experience.
The friendly and attentive staff make sure every guest feels welcome and well taken care of, while the inn’s convenient location is ideal for the Giza Plateau and other major attractions. Guests can choose from comfortable and well-appointed rooms, providing a cosy haven to return to following a busy day under the desert sun.
Sphinx Guest House, Giza
Sphinx Guest House is another great budget choice for a Giza stay, but still with those all-important pyramid views. Guests can enjoy a drink with the ancient wonders as their backdrop, thanks to the rooftop terrace and other communal areas. But it’s also well worth upgrading to one of the pyramid view rooms if you like a more intimate setting for your Instagram shots.
With a more intimate setting than many of the larger hotels in the area, visitors can enjoy a relaxed experience during their Egyptian adventure at the Sphinx Guest House. The warm and welcoming atmosphere is complemented by the staff who makes sure every guest feels at home.
Steigenberger Pyramids, Cairo
For a modern and comfortable stay in Cairo, the Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel is a great choice. Some premium rooms give enviable views of the iconic pyramids in Giza but, in my opinion, you get an even better panorama from the rooftop swimming pool, bar and lounge. Thankfully, this area is accessible to all guests!
The hotel’s location places guests within easy reach of the Giza Plateau and other major attractions, allowing for effortless exploration of Egypt’s historical treasures. This, plus the hotel’s contemporary amenities and warm hospitality means the Steigenberger Pyramids Cairo is one of the best places to stay in Egypt’s capital.
Giza Pyramids Inn
Fully living up to its name, Giza Pyramids Inn offers a cosy and affordable stay with some rooms and a rooftop terrace giving breathtaking pyramid views. This budget-friendly inn is perfect for guests looking for somewhere authentic but with warm hospitality, a convenient location and those all-important panoramas.
Rooms are simple yet comfortable and come complete with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms and free Wi-Fi to send your pyramid pics back home. So for travellers looking for a more intimate and affordable option without compromising on the view, Giza Pyramids Inn is a fantastic choice.
