02Overview
A first look
Number 52 Saad Zaghloul Street is right in the flow of Alexandria: traffic, pavements full of people and Raml Station a short way off. Le Metropole opened in 1902, so a night here is a night in a piece of the city’s hotel history.
We can book a room as part of a longer Egypt trip and confirm the category and meal plan beforehand. Compared with a resort outside Alexandria, you step straight out into the streets. What the room offers and which services come with it depend on the rate you select, and we will go through those with you.
Background
The facts
Le Metropole Hotel is a five-star hotel at 52 Saad Zaghloul Street in the centre of Alexandria, Egypt. It dates from 1902 and belongs to the city’s early twentieth-century hotel history. It is a place to stay, not an attraction or an out-of-town resort.
The address is in the Raml Station area. Raml Station is a central transport landmark, but the location details we hold do not give distances or journey times to other sights.
The 1902 date places the hotel in Alexandria’s early twentieth-century story. We have no record of any UNESCO World Heritage listing for it.
The hotel is rated five-star. Room categories, check-in and check-out times, dining, facilities and what a rate includes depend on your booking and should be confirmed before you reserve. Egypt Discovery, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, can arrange the stay.

Is this for you?
Yes, if
- Adults and older teenagers who like Alexandria’s city history and would rather stay in the centre than at a resort outside it. Couples, solo travellers and families who want a central address and plan to spend their days exploring will find it a sound base.
Maybe not, if
- Pick a coastal resort instead if you want quiet away from street noise or resort-style facilities. If particular room features or meals are essential to you, ask us to confirm them before booking.

Tailor it
Make it yours
We can book the hotel as part of a longer Egypt trip and help you settle the room category and meal plan for your dates. Ask about adding Alexandria sightseeing or extra nights, which depend on availability.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Use Le Metropole as the city leg of a longer Egypt trip, either before or after time in Cairo. Its central address suits travellers who want to explore Alexandria instead of staying at a resort outside it.
Accessibility
Who can join this
Le Metropole Hotel is on Saad Zaghloul Street in central Alexandria, near Raml Station. A five-star rating does not tell you whether every room and shared area is step-free. Ask the hotel to confirm step-free access from the entrance to the lobby, lift availability, adapted room features, bathroom layouts and any steps or thresholds before you book. Pavements in Alexandria can be uneven and crowded, which may make getting around alone hard for wheelchair users or people with other mobility aids. Check transport for any trips from the hotel separately, as accessible vehicles are not guaranteed.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Minimum ages, child rates and any age-based charges depend on the hotel’s current booking terms. Ask us to confirm them for your dates before you reserve. A pushchair can be awkward on uneven or crowded pavements in central Alexandria. Request cots, high chairs and family rooms in advance and have them confirmed for your stay.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The setting
Le Metropole Hotel stands at 52 Saad Zaglol Street in the Raml Station area of Alexandria. Because it is a named city street, it is easy to give to taxi drivers. Check the surroundings and what is nearby against your plans before you book. The concierge can advise on getting around, nearby sights and journey times, which change with traffic and where you are heading.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01How long can I stay at Le Metropole Hotel?
For as long as you choose, subject to availability. The listing shows one day but that does not fix your check-in time, check-out time or number of nights. Send us your dates and we will check the rooms and the terms.02Where exactly is the hotel and how do I get there?
It is at 52 Saad Zaghloul Street, near Raml Station in central Alexandria. An airport shuttle is among the listed facilities, but transport is not confirmed as part of a room booking. We can arrange transfers within a wider Egypt trip. In the city, this address puts you among the streets rather than beside a beach.03What comes with a room booking?
Rooms, meals and services vary by rate. Some Golden rates mention breakfast and a light dinner, but do not assume them unless they appear in your confirmation. Ask us to check the category and meal plan, and read your final booking for exactly what is included.04What would not be in the room price?
Do not assume that meals, transport or other services are covered. What is excluded depends on the rate, so confirm charges for meals and extras before you reserve. Separate travel arrangements made through us are priced and confirmed on their own.05Can guests with limited mobility use the hotel?
Step-free access and other features are not confirmed. If you need a lift, a step-free entrance or an adapted bathroom, tell us before you reserve and we will ask the hotel what the room and building can offer. Early notice helps us check the right category.06Does the hotel suit families?
It can work as a central base, though child rules and room layouts depend on your booking. Ask whether children can share the room you want, what bedding is available and whether meals apply to them. Be ready for more street activity than a resort would have.07What should I bring?
Bring your booking details and the identification the hotel asks for at check-in. Alexandria is on the coast, so pack for the season and wear comfortable shoes for the streets. Check whether your rate includes meals before you rely on them.08Can I photograph inside the hotel?
Rules can differ between areas and under hotel policy, so ask at the front desk before photographing staff, guests or interiors. Always ask before taking a recognisable picture of someone. On the street outside, follow any notices and respect people’s privacy.09When should I stay?
Choose according to the weather you like and how much city bustle you can enjoy. The address on Saad Zaghloul Street is urban, not a quiet seaside retreat. Look at the forecast for your dates and ask us to confirm availability before you finalise plans.10What sets Le Metropole apart?
It is a historic hotel from 1902, standing near Raml Station in central Alexandria. That city address and its history set it apart from resorts outside the city. Ask us to confirm the room category and meals, as both depend on the booking.

AlexandriaHilton Alexandria Corniche
