Om Kalthom
Om Kalthom is a 16-story hotel in Cairo's Zamalek district, built on the site of the former Om Kalthom Villa and overlooking the Nile River and city. It has over 100 air-conditioned rooms furnished in a simple modern style, each with a balcony, satellite television, minibar, telephone, and private bathroom.
The hotel was built on the site of the former Om Kalthom Villa, referencing the legendary Egyptian singer. Its development into a modern hotel reflects the urban transformation of Zamalek over recent decades.
The hotel in Zamalek offers quiet streets yet remains close enough to Cairo's lively areas for easy exploration. Guests can enjoy Nile views from their balconies while having access to on-site restaurants, coffee shops, and event spaces.
The hotel features two specialized ballrooms: KAWKAB AL SHARK accommodating about 600 people and the elegantly designed Sahebat El Esma for smaller events. The Angham restaurant and Awtar coffee shop, the latter overlooking the Nile, demonstrate a thoughtful culinary offering for different occasions.
