02Overview
A first look
At 52 Saad Zaghloul Street, Alexandria’s city-center rhythm is part of the setting: traffic and street activity surround the hotel, with Raml Station nearby. Le Metropole dates to 1902, placing your stay within the city’s early-20th-century hotel heritage rather than apart from it.
We can arrange a room here as part of a wider Egypt trip, and help you confirm the room category and meal plan before booking. Unlike a resort outside the city, this address puts you in central Alexandria, where the day unfolds around the streets and neighborhoods beyond the lobby. Room features and services depend on the booking selected, so we’ll verify those details with you.
Background
The facts
Le Metropole Hotel is a five-star hotel at 52 Saad Zaghloul Street in central Alexandria, Egypt. The hotel dates to 1902 and is part of the city’s early 20th-century hotel heritage. It is a lodging property, not a sightseeing attraction or an out-of-town resort.
The address is in the Raml Station area of Alexandria. Raml Station is a central city transit landmark; the supplied location information does not establish distances or travel times to other attractions.
The hotel’s 1902 founding places it in Alexandria’s early 20th-century urban history. No UNESCO World Heritage designation for the hotel is established here.
The property is described as five-star. Room categories, check-in and check-out times, dining, amenities, and rate inclusions depend on the selected booking and should be confirmed before reservation. A stay can be arranged through Discovery Tours Egypt, a licensed Egyptian tour operator.

Who can join this

Alexandria’s sidewalks can be uneven and busy, which may make independent travel difficult for guests using wheelchairs or mobility aids.
