Rixos Al Montazah Alexandria Launches Summer Season with Royal Flair and Five-Star Excellence
A Royal Retreat Reimagined, Rixos Al Montazah Alexandria Welcomes the Summer Season.
Alexandria, Egypt
Rixos Al Montazah Alexandria has officially launched its summer season, unveiling an elevated guest experience defined by royal-style hospitality, comprehensive luxury services, and a carefully curated array of entertainment and cultural programs. These offerings are specifically tailored to attract tourists from Egypt, the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries, and the broader Arab region, as part of the hotel’s ongoing strategy to position itself as a premier Mediterranean luxury tourism destination.
A Royal Legacy Reimagined
Operated by Rixos Hotels, a global leader in luxury hospitality, Rixos Al Montazah Alexandria is not only one of Egypt’s most prestigious hotels but also a cultural and architectural landmark. The property is uniquely situated on the grounds of the historic Salamlek Palace, originally built in 1892 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II, a member of Egypt’s royal family during the Ottoman period.
After 72 years in storage, the train underwent a complete restoration and was returned to its original condition, preserving its historical and antique character. It is currently on display at the Royal Vehicles Station Museum in Montaza Palace, Alexandria, next to the city’s first-ever tram cars.
What once served as an exclusive royal retreat has been meticulously transformed into a world-class luxury hotel, preserving the essence of its majestic past while introducing modern sophistication. This seamless blend of heritage and contemporary elegance offers guests an unmatched experience in the heart of Alexandria, one of the oldest and most storied cities in human history, founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE.
Prime Location in Montazah Gardens
The hotel is located within the lush and historically significant Montazah Gardens, on Alexandria’s eastern coastline. It is just steps away from the equally famous Haramlek Palace. Together, these elements create a serene and exclusive environment where guests can experience the nostalgia of royal life while enjoying all the comforts of modern luxury.
Rixos Al Montazah is recognized for its ability to fuse authentic historical ambiance with cutting-edge hospitality standards, making it a favored destination for travelers who value exclusivity, beauty, and cultural depth.
