Overview

The old hotel was closed until it was sold to a private Egyptian real estate developer. It was demolished, and the current complex, San Stefano Grand Plaza, was built in its place. The new building hosts another luxury hotel, the Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano, a part of the Four Seasons chain. Most of the hotel's rooms are housed in the main building, but it also includes a ground-level, beachfront wing adjoining the Corniche for rooms under the Beach Suite and Villa category. The beachfront wing is connected to the main building by an underground tunnel.[3]
In addition to the hotel, San Stefano includes a residential complex with a private parking garage and a large shopping center housing a collection of luxury boutiques and stores. It also has the largest cinema complex in the city. The building is the tallest in Alexandria, visible from areas far beyond the San Stefano district, and rises to a height of thirty stories.[4][5] The San Stefano complex overlooks the Corniche and the San Stefano tram station.[6]
