Guests have the option of dining in Restaurant Florencia, serving Spanish and continental cuisine with views over Cairo and live classical music, or in Restaurante La Scala offering fine Italian cuisine and Tuscan Specialties. The Flamenco Coffee Shop provides an extensive buffet breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. In room refreshment is available from the 24 hour room service and 'Postres' delicatessen is open all day with baked goods and pastries. Guests can visit the Health & Fitness Club to take advantage of its jetted tub and sauna, work out on the fitness equipment, or be pampered with a massage. Ten function and meeting rooms are available for business meetings and private events; the largest room can accommodate 260 people. No visit to Cairo would be complete without a boat trip down the historic River Nile to the pyramids at Giza 20 kilometres from the hotel; the Egyptian museum is well worth a visit 8 kilometres away, as is the Islamic Art Museum, 12 kilometres away. The hotel is approximately 25 kilometres or a 40 minute drive from Cairo International Airport.
