Villa Belle Époque CAIRO, EGYPT
Villa Belle Époque is Cairo’s original boutique hotel, a tranquil retreat where early 20th-century elegance meets contemporary comfort. Set within a beautifully restored 1920s villa in the leafy suburb of Maadi, this charming hideaway blends colonial heritage with refined Egyptian character. Surrounded by lush gardens filled with mango
trees, date palms and flowering shrubs, the hotel provides a peaceful oasis in the heart of Cairo. Guests can unwind by the outdoor pool, nestled among the foliage, or enjoy a quiet stroll through Maadi’s pleasant boulevards. This upmarket neighbourhood invites leisurely exploration, with its collection of independent boutiques selling handmade kilim rugs, traditional pottery, gold jewellery and local spices. Street cafes and artisan shops lend the area a distinctly cosmopolitan yet authentically Egyptian atmosphere. Dining at Acacia Restaurant by Villa Belle
Époque is a highlight. Whether seated indoors or out in the shaded garden courtyard, guests are treated to an enticing selection of local dishes and mezze platters, served with the hotel’s signature
homemade pitta bread and za’atar crackers. The emphasis is on fresh, seasonal ingredients and traditional flavours, reinterpreted with flair. Accommodation is equally well considered.
The hotel offers 43 individually styled rooms and suites, each named after an Egyptian city or province, from Luxor and Alexandria to Edfu and Port Said. Every room is unique, featuring antique furniture, vintage decor and original artworks by contemporary Egyptian artists. Luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding, rain showers and modern amenities such as high-speed wi-fi and climate control ensure a stay that’s both stylish and supremely comfortable. Despite being just a short drive from central
Cairo and the legendary Pyramids of Giza, Villa Belle Époque feels delightfully removed from the bustle. It offers a rare combination of privacy, character and thoughtful service — ideal for travellers seeking a more intimate and authentic Egyptian experience. Whether visiting for business or pleasure, guests are welcomed into a setting that’s elegant, unhurried and rich with charm.
