Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan

Following a three-year hotel closure for renovations, the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan reopens as the brand’s third Legend property. The five-star luxury hotel, located in the heart of Aswan on the banks of the Nile River, is housed in a Victorian building dating back to 1899 and has accommodated many famous faces, from Sir Winston Churchill to Agatha Christie. Named after its location, the property sits on the point where the Nile River’s first cataract is formed. A full-service outstanding luxury hotel, the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan features the new So SPA and four restaurants including the legendary 1902, a dining room famous for its Qualaun crypt and outstanding decor. French interior designer Sybille de Margerie resurrected the mythic luxury of the property while conserving its original beauty by combining Victorian, Middle Eastern and French styles.
