Fodor's Expert Review Windsor Palace
El-Gaish Rd., El Gondy El Maghool Square, Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt
Erected on the Alexandria Corniche in 1906, the Windsor Palace retains a period look and feel thanks to its furnishings, tapestries, and oil paintings. The rooms have been renovated recently but have not lost their character, with high ceilings and tall windows. The front rooms have elegant iron balconies and all the rooms maintain an atmosphere that harks back to the early-20th-century heyday of Alexandria.
PROS
- excellent location on the Downtown Corniche
- new Skyroof disco and lounge on the roof
- one of few hotels serving alcohol
CONS
- although grand in scale, the lobby has a soulless quality
- no pool or beach access
- on-site facilities are limited
