On the Corniche at San Stefano, Four Seasons Alexandria feels made for the view: balconies to the Mediterranean, gardens stepping toward a private beach club, and a summer rhythm of pools and sea light. Across the road, villas with private pools sit along the sea wall—your own pocket of Alexandria with the city just behind.

Rooms and suites are bright and composed, many opening to the water or skyline; some lead straight onto a pool terrace, others frame the horizon from higher floors. If you want a residential feel, the beach villas add private gardens and pools without losing hotel service.

Days move easily between the fourth-floor infinity pool, the beach infinity pool and the indoor pool when you want shade. The spa handles the reset—sauna, steam, and a broad treatment menu—while the hotel’s private beach (accessed via a tunnel under the Corniche) runs on a May–October schedule with loungers and service set to the sea.

Evenings gather around the hotel’s dining and lounge scene—Lebanese at Byblos, seaside plates at the Beach Restaurant & Lounge, and seasonal pop-ups that keep the Mediterranean close; expect roughly ten outlets in all when the resort is in summer swing.

Opened in 2007, the property reads as Alexandria’s modern grand-hotel counterpoint: resort ease, city address, and a vantage that turns the Corniche into part of your day. Book it when you want the sea as company and the city within a short stroll.
