Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano

A seafront Alexandrian retreat
VERIFIED LUXURY

Based within one of the city’s most modern architectural landmarks, Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano is an icon in its own right. Occupying the former site of the popular San Stefano Hotel & Casino, the local favorite offers a delightful home away from home for residents and a relaxing holiday retreat for visitors. Celebrities and other Egyptian personalities are regularly spotted at the property, most notably Liverpool FC forward Mo Salah.

Somewhat split in two, the luxury resort features both an urban hotel, located in the main building, and seafront suites, added in 2019 and placed across the corniche right on the beach.

The property’s bright and fresh color palette of soft pinks, greens, blues and yellows, fused with classical design evokes a vintage summery feel befitting Alexandria’s year-round sunshine.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Despite being in the middle of Egypt’s second-largest city, Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano provides a laidback sanctuary that feels miles away from the buzz of the metropolis.
  • The hotel is part of the San Stefano Grand Plaza complex, designed by the same architects behind Toronto’s CN Tower. It features a shopping mall that can be accessed directly from within the property.
  • Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria’s contemporary European spa carries a variety of services in an intimate, candlelit setting. Indulge in a regal service like the 1,001 Nights Sensation (a 140-minute peel, bath and massage) and the Mediterranean Breeze Treatment (a sea-salt scrub and body wrapped followed by a massage).
  • Three picturesque swimming pools are worth diving into: the main circular infinity pool on the fourth-floor terrace overlooks the Corniche, the indoor heated infinity pool sits on the fifth floor, while the beach seawater infinity pool has a swim-up bar.
  • The hotel adds 10 distinct restaurants and lounges to Alexandria’s culinary scene, serving an impressive selection of local and international specialities against a backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.

Things to Know

  • The family-friendly hotel has a supervised children’s program available at Alex the Crab Kids’ Club.
