Ismail Mohamed Street is a beautifully shaded upscale area. The view form the front terrace is grand, with colorful gardens and trees. Indeed, Zamalek is an upper class neighborhood with many private schools, embassies and consulates. It is a quiet and peaceful areas located on an island in the Nile, but very close to downtown, Historical Coptic and Islamic Cairo, including the famous Khan el-Khalili shopping district. Of course, Zamalek has its own great shopping. Within two blocks is a Christian church, a branch of the American University in Cairo's book store, and a number of restaurants including three American chains. There is a small grocery store on one side of the hotel, and a camera shop on the other. Zamalek is the northern part of Gezira Island. Gezira was mostly uninhabited and undeveloped into the mid 19th century. After the modern (central) city of Cairo was developed, Mohammed Ali built a palace and guard house at the northern tip. Apparently, there were problems with these buildings and the complex became known as As-Zamalik, which in Turkish translates to 'makeshift dwelling'. Later, the Khedive Ismail built a large palace in the center of the island with a huge garden, along with building up the sides of the island and a jetty to make access easier. At that time, the gardens contained exotic plant life and a collection of African animals, fountains, pavilions and the Gezira Salamlik. The Nile River is only a few blocks away from the Longchamps.

Jeder kennt das Gef?hl, wenn eine Renovierung bevorsteht und ehrlich gesagt, wer w?rde sich nicht dar?ber freuen, wenn uns ganz pl?tzlich eine gute Fee durch ein wenig Magie davon befreit. Leider geschieht das nur im M?rchen, also d?rfen auch wir endlich Hand anlegen, um die Zimmer f?r unsere G?ste in neuem Glanz erstrahlen zu lassen, was sicherlich nicht ganz ohne st?rende Ger?usche, Unordnung, Farbgeruch und Staub einher geht. Wir bitten in diesem Zusammenhang alle unsere G?ste vielmals um Verst?ndnis f?r die Versch?nerungsarbeiten in der Zeit vom 24.06.2007 bis 13.07.2007, wir versprechen, die Ger?uschkulisse und das geordnete Chaos in Grenzen zu halten, um Ihnen den Aufenthalt trotz dieser Beeintr?chtigung so angenehm wie m?glich zu gestalten. Eventuelle St?rungen im t?glichen Hotelablauf bitten wir hiermit ebenfalls zu entschuldigen. Unser gesamtes Team bedankt sich herzlichst f?r Ihr Entgegenkommen und, unsere freundlichen Mitarbeiter stehen Ihnen bei R?ckfragen jederzeit gerne zur Verf?gung. Everyone knows the feeling. If only renovations could be completed by magic, then everyone would be happy. Unfortunately, that happens only in fairy tales. Nevertheless, we are in the process of improving a few of our rooms for our guests, including modernizing furniture and creating what we believe will be a more relaxing, comfortable atmosphere. But doing so is simply not possible without a little disturbing noise, disorder and the typical effects of renovating. In this connection we kindly ask all our esteemed guests for their understanding within the period from June 24, 2007 through July 13th, 2007 We promise to care about you especially during these unpleasant occurrences, in order to make your stay at Longchamps as pleasant as possible. Our entire team apologizes for any inconvenience, and request your understanding. Hotel Longchamps, Cairo
