Hotel Windsor

Descripción Hotel Windsor

Built at the turn of the century as the baths of the Egyptian royal family, the hotel served for many years as a colonial British officers club before being purchased by a Swiss hotelier as an annex of the legendary Shepherds Hotel and converted into the Hotel -Maison Suisse. Today, the hotel´s guestrooms retain an ambiance of faded grandeur and the hotel´s famous Barrel bar remains a popular Cairo rendezvous. More recently, the Hotel has been featured in a number of Egyptian and Hollywood films.|

Descripción de la Habitación

All rooms have fairly worn carpets and bathrooms are in need of renovation, although the place is clean. Really, the best bit of the hotel is the bar´s eclectic old-world style, with its polished floorboards, large lounges, beer-barrel furniture and mounted animal horns.
