"There are two Four Seasons hotels in town (the other is the Four Seasons at the First Residence). Both are superb, but this is the newer of the two and has a more central location."

"Sleek, sophisticated and luxurious to a fault, this branch of the Four Seasons chain is better suited to Western tastes than its gaudier sister establishment opposite the zoo in Giza."
