Character and identity
Set within the San Stefano Grand Plaza complex (designed by the architects behind Toronto's CN Tower), this Four Seasons occupies a landmark address on Alexandria's Corniche and splits itself between an urban hotel in the main tower and seafront suites added in 2019 across the road. Interiors lean into a vintage Mediterranean palette of soft pinks, greens, blues and yellows. The property runs ten restaurants and lounges, three pools (a fourth-floor circular infinity, an indoor heated infinity on five, and a seawater infinity with swim-up bar at the beach), and a candlelit European spa.
Who's it for
Best for:
Families and couples after a city-and-sea hybrid, with the kids' club (Alex the Crab), Friday brunch at Kala and a private beach all on tap. It also suits design-minded travellers who appreciate the building's architectural pedigree, plus shoppers who like the direct mall access.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone chasing a pure beach holiday outside summer should reconsider: the private beach closes November to April. Travellers wanting a quiet, single-building resort may find the split layout (main tower plus seafront suites across the Corniche) and mall-attached setting fussier than expected.
Bottom line
The defining feature here is the dual-property setup: an urban tower with skyline pools on one side of the Corniche, beachfront suites with their own entrance on the other, connected by a private underground tunnel. Book the sea-view villas or beach suites between May and October to get the full waterfront experience; choose the main building in winter when the beach shuts and you'll want the indoor heated pool and spa.
