Fodor's Expert Review Helnan Palestine
Alexandria, Alexandria, 21919, Egypt
Set amid royal gardens, between the old palace and a private cove, this modernist hotel was built in 1964 to house visiting heads of state attending an Arab summit; its interior space has, however, been brought into the 21st century. North-facing rooms have excellent sea views, while others overlook the gardens. The small cove and its artificial beach have an Italian Lido feel.
PROS
- setting offers peace and tranquillity
- lovely surroundings of Montazah gardens
- private beach
CONS
- far from the energy of Downtown Alexandria
- some staff members are indifferent
- last renovation was 2002
