02Overview
A first look
Smouha gives a stay on 14th May Avenue a real city feel, with Alexandria carrying on outside the lobby. Once you have checked in, the hotel serves as your base between time in the district and trips elsewhere in the city. It is a room booking, not a sightseeing package, so how you spend your days is up to you.
Egypt Discovery arranges the booking at The Grand Plaza Hotel Smouha, and the hotel looks after you once you arrive. Rooms, meals and facilities vary by date, so we will confirm the details for your stay before you book.
Background
The facts
The Grand Plaza Hotel Smouha is a four-star hotel on 14th May Avenue in Smouha, a district of Alexandria, Egypt. Egypt Discovery arranges bookings at the property, and the hotel provider runs it.
Smouha is an urban district of Alexandria, on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The address pins down the hotel's position, but distances and journey times to individual landmarks depend on the route and are not given here.
Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in 331 BCE, and it became a major centre of the Ptolemaic kingdom. Its ancient and modern heritage takes in sites such as the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
Room category, meal plan and facilities depend on your booking and should be confirmed for your dates.

Maybe not, if
- Look elsewhere if you need a sea-view room confirmed or want to be right on Alexandria's waterfront. The address alone does not tell you how far it is from the sights you want, so check routes before choosing it as a sightseeing base.

Accessibility
Who can join this

Pavements and crossings nearby can be uneven, and routes may include kerbs.

What to pack & wear
Children & families
Ask the hotel about minimum ages, child rates and whether cots or high chairs are available for your dates; these can differ by room and rate. Find out whether children can use the existing beds or need an extra one, and confirm any charge before you book. Pushchair access depends on the entrance, lifts and room layout, so ask if you plan to bring one.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01How many nights can I book here?
Whatever length of stay you choose, subject to availability. Our listing shows a single day, but that does not limit a reservation to one night. Check your dates and room availability, and confirm check-in and check-out times with us, as they depend on the hotel's current policy.02What does a room booking cover?
That depends on the rate plan and the category of room. Do not take breakfast, Wi-Fi or the use of every facility for granted unless your confirmation lists them. Compare the rate details for your dates, and ask us to confirm anything that matters to you.03Are transfers or sightseeing part of the booking?
No. A booking here is accommodation at the named hotel, not a transfer or sightseeing package. Airport transport, tours and similar services are separate unless your confirmation says otherwise. Smouha is a district of Alexandria; ask us about adding travel services for your dates.04Is the hotel suitable for guests with limited mobility?
Please confirm accessibility with the hotel for your room and dates. Ask about step-free routes from the entrance to the room, lifts, bathroom layout and any steps or thresholds. Tell us your needs before booking so the room can be checked against them.05Is it a good choice for families?
Family rooms are among the listed facilities. How many people a room takes, extra beds and child policies depend on the category and dates, so confirm children's ages, sleeping arrangements and any meal terms before booking. Do not count on connecting rooms unless the hotel confirms them.06What should I pack for a stay?
Your booking confirmation, ID and any medicines. Alexandria's Mediterranean climate can be warm and bright, so take sun protection and comfortable shoes. Room extras and toiletries vary, so ask what is supplied if you need something specific. Modest clothing is handy for religious sites.07May I take photographs inside the hotel?
It depends on the area and the activity. Ask the front desk before photographing staff, other guests or private event spaces, and respect anyone who prefers not to be photographed. Nearby museums and religious sites have their own rules and may charge or ban photography.08When is the best time to stay?
Spring and autumn are usually milder in Alexandria than high summer. It depends on your plans and how you cope with the weather, and the coast can be breezy. Look at the forecast close to your trip and check availability, especially if you are travelling for a particular event.09How do I find the hotel?
The hotel is on 14th May Avenue in the Smouha district. Give the full address to a taxi driver or your navigation app, and confirm the entrance with the hotel before you travel. Journey time depends on where you start and on traffic, and transfers are not included unless your reservation says so.10Does the hotel have sea views?
A sea view is not guaranteed. The listing gives the address as 14th May Avenue in Smouha and does not describe a beachfront property, and outlooks depend on the room you are given. If a sea view or balcony matters, ask before booking and get it confirmed for your room.

AlexandriaTolip Hotel Alexandria
The five-star Tolip Hotel Alexandria stands on Corniche Road in the Roshdy district, on the stretch of coast road that follows the Mediterranean. That puts it on the seafront rather than in an inland suburb. The Corniche links the middle of the city with the eastern districts, so the hotel works as a base for seeing Alexandria, although journey times to individual sights depend on traffic. Egypt Discovery books the room for you through the hotel. The facilities listed for the property include a pool, spa, gym, bar and restaurant, but room details, meals and what is open should be confirmed for your dates before you commit.

AlexandriaLe Metropole Hotel Alexandria
Le Metropole Hotel is a five-star hotel from 1902 at 52 Saad Zaghloul Street, close to Raml Station in the centre of Alexandria. The building carries the city’s early twentieth-century hotel history, and the address puts you in the middle of Alexandria rather than at a beach resort outside it. Listed facilities include a restaurant, bar, room service, a business centre and an airport shuttle. A central street can be livelier than a seaside setting. Egypt Discovery can fit this stay into a wider Egypt trip, and we confirm the room category and any meals with the hotel before you book.
