Hilton For Free summer holiday promotion runs until end September
Dubai; 20 May, 2007 - GCC residents looking to escape this summer can head to Egypt with the popular Hilton For Free holiday promotion and stay at Hilton and Conrad hotels in Cairo.
Holidaymakers can choose from three locations all on the River Nile; the Nile Hilton, the regional flagship and capital landmark, or in close proximity Ramses Hilton on the east bank with magnificent views of the river and the city, and Conrad Cairo, the luxury brand of the Hilton Family, with its very own casino.
"We have the perfect product in our Cairo hotels tailored for the GCC market; connecting rooms and suites for large families, kitchenettes in some rooms, private check in and check out facilities, great relaxed restaurants, shisha cafes, night clubs and live entertainment. With all hotels right on the River Nile, guests can enjoy dinner cruises and evening strolls," said Azza Serry, Regional Director of Business Development, Hilton Hotels, Egypt & Levant.
A three night consecutive stay will earn travellers one additional complimentary night. For five nights booked, guests will receive an additional two nights stay, and a week's stay will earn them a fantastic three night extension. And for longer holidays, they can receive an extra week's stay for free. Per room rates for one night including breakfast start at USD$174 at Ramses Hilton, USD$179 at the Nile and for the ultimate luxury experience USD$219 at the Conrad. Furthermore, VISA cardholders can enjoy an additional ten per cent discount.
The Nile Hilton will unveil its new venue La Terrace in June, an open-air Latino rooftop lounge with panoramic views of the river and live entertainment. Renowned for its Shisha, as well as oriental and Egyptian specialities is Abu Aly, the ground floor open-air venue. Guests looking for something more upbeat, should head to Latex, the trendy dance club or the London Club Rendez Vous casino. Culture hopping could not be easier with the world-famous Egyptian museum right on the hotel's doorstep.
Meanwhile Ramses Hilton has its very own shopping galleria with over 250 shops and also includes an Egyptian speciality café. Maharaja, the hotel's signature Indian restaurant, features Tandoori specialties straight from the oven. The open-air terrace Al Mandara offers live entertainment, belly dancing and shisha. Additional leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, health and fitness centre, five cinemas, two billiard halls, and a casino.
At the luxurious Conrad Cairo guests can choose from four different suite types with connecting rooms; Presidential, Royal, Executive and Nile suites, all with spectacular Nile views. The hotel's Sea Market restaurant now has a new menu which includes belly dancing, while the BBQ Terrace offers grills, oriental mezze and shisha under the gazebo. For some summer fun, guests can head to Hot & Blue disco club, and of course the Conrad Casino with its own private salon and 24-hour bar.
