6/19.- Alexandria, Cecil hotel
The Sofitel Cecil in Alexandria has always been
considered a romantic hotel to its visitors. Established in 1929,
this is one of the historical hotels that has never been anything
except a hotel, unlike others that began as palaces or royal lodges.
However, the hotel is operated by the Sofitel hotel chain, certainly
experienced in historical hotels.
A hotel with heritage, it offers a panoramic view of
the Eastern harbour, and is set in the centre of the city.
Some notable guests have included Agatha Christie,
the Prince of Sweden, Josephine Baker, Omar Sharif, Field Marshall
Montgomery, Winston Churchill, and Mohamed Aly (Cassius Clay).
