Resort-style living on Alexandria’s Mediterranean waterfront
Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano brings a genuine resort dimension to a city stay. Positioned between Alexandria and the Mediterranean, it combines urban access with a private 500-metre sandy beach, sea-view accommodation and a substantial collection of leisure facilities.
It is particularly appealing for travellers who want to explore Alexandria’s history without giving up the pleasure of a coastal stay.
Accommodation
The accommodation ranges from city- and sea-view rooms to large suites, dedicated beach suites and private-pool villas. Many rooms and suites have balconies, while the beach accommodation places guests much closer to the Mediterranean.
For greater privacy, the sea-view villas have their own pools and gardens. At the top end, The Palace is a gated seafront residence with extensive indoor and outdoor entertaining space, its own swimming pool and the sea on three sides.
The beach
An underground passage leads beneath the Corniche to the hotel’s private beach. This is an important distinction in Alexandria, allowing guests to move between the city hotel and a fully serviced seaside setting without crossing the busy waterfront road.
Seasonal infinity pools and beach facilities add to the resort atmosphere during the warmer months.
Spa and leisure
The spa has 14 treatment rooms alongside relaxation lounges, sauna, steam room and whirlpool facilities. The hotel also operates indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, giving it considerably more leisure depth than a conventional city hotel.
Exploring Alexandria
From San Stefano, days can include the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Citadel of Qaitbay, museums, historic districts and the city’s long Mediterranean corniche. The hotel’s position makes it easy to combine cultural touring with unstructured time by the sea.

Why we like it
Alexandria deserves more than a hurried sightseeing stop, and this hotel makes staying longer easy. It allows a cultural city break to feel like part of a wider Mediterranean holiday.
