The enchanting seascape is toxic, Hilton Alexandria Corniche Hotel in Egypt

Known as the bride of the Mediterranean, Alexandria, Egypt, is as dim today as its history is glorious. Hilton Group seems to hold a different view, opening three branches in this confused and decadent city, and all are Hilton's main brand. Unfortunately, only the Hilton on the Corniche can embrace the blue of the Mediterranean at zero distance. Taking a taxi along the Corniche, the blue sea and sky outside the left window and the ruins outside the right window form a huge visual contrast. Especially when the taxi app prompts that it is about to arrive, it is hard to accept how a five-star hotel can hide in such a chaotic environment. Until turning into the alley and seeing the inconspicuous sign, it feels like a huge mistake to choose this one. The disappointment will be relieved instantly after entering the hotel, behind the narrow entrance is a spacious and transparent lobby, and the majestic seascape that is blue to the deep. Unfortunately, there is no executive lounge, and you can only queue at the front desk for check-in. The cross-section of the hotel building is like a kaleidoscope, the polygonal cylinder ensures that there are wide balconies that extend outward in different directions, and there are two suites on each floor facing the north sea view. Fortunately, the attitude towards members is friendly and generous, and diamond card members are not surprisingly, everyone has a share. But as a person who has been there, I suggest that you give up the obsession of lying in bed and watching the sea, otherwise, after nightfall, in addition to the continuous surging sound of the waves, there are also cars rushing, wild dogs barking, morning birds singing, chanting and singing. They take turns on stage, as if fighting with beasts all night, waking up countless times. If you don't sleep well, you don't eat well. Breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner are all in the first-floor restaurant. The products are all old faces, and you feel full at a glance. My personal enthusiasm for Western food is obviously not enough to support a trip of more than three days, so it's better to go out and taste the famous seafood in Alexandria. Finally, the hotel only accepts US dollars. Whether you eat well or sleep well, you are still being counter-sheared, and it would be strange if you were satisfied.
