El Gezira Sheraton Hotel, Modern hotel tower on Gezira Island, Cairo, Egypt.
El Gezira Sheraton Hotel is a modern tower on Gezira Island with 27 floors featuring balconies that face the Nile River and cityscape. The building contains 433 rooms and suites alongside seven conference rooms for meetings and events.
The building was constructed in 1984 and introduced a new architectural form to Cairo's skyline with its distinctive V-shaped support beams. This modernist structure changed how the area appeared from the river and surrounding neighborhoods.
The interior design blends Pharaonic, Arabian, and French art deco influences throughout the rooms and common spaces. This mix of styles creates a space where contemporary architecture meets traditional visual references.
The hotel is located on Gezira Island with easy access to the artistic Zamalek district, making it convenient for visitors interested in local galleries and studios. The rooms feature private balconies, allowing guests to enjoy the view of the river and city from their accommodation.
The V-shaped support beams are not just a distinctive visual feature but also serve as an engineering solution for stability on the island's challenging ground. This design approach is unusual among tall buildings in the region and makes the hotel's outline immediately recognizable.
