About Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano
- The hotel site was previously occupied by a landmark 1961 beachfront hotel-casino — one of Alexandria's defining mid-century social venues — demolished to make way for the San Stefano Grand Plaza complex.
- The private beach is accessed by a dedicated tunnel beneath the coastal road, giving guests a resort-style arrival directly onto 500 metres of sand without crossing traffic.
- Alexandria's San Stefano neighbourhood takes its name from a former royal villa; the area was the preferred seaside retreat of the Egyptian royal family before the 1952 revolution.
- Entry-level rooms start at 495 sq ft (46 m²).
