An ongoing joke Mr. Smith and I have going is whether this “hotel” actually ever has people calling to reserve rooms. I found the BathHouse at the Alexis Hotel late one January night in ’08 buried in a sea of web pages about Indonesian night life.
What interested me the most about this place was that not only were there local women there, but also lovely ladies from Thailand, Uzbekistan, Myanmar (Burma), Russia, and mainland China.

The Intercontinental City Stars Cairo is a hotel situated in the Cairo City Stars complex, which consists of two hotels, an office tower, and the City Centre shopping center. With almost 800 rooms and suites, five restaurants, casino, health club, business center, wireless network and ballroom with the capacity to seat over 2,000 people, it is the largest and most advanced Intercontinental hotel in the world. Located in Heliopolis, it is not as convenient to downtown as the Intercontinental Semiramis, but is still within easy reach of all the major attractions as long as one plans for the horrific Cairo traffic.
I arrived in Cairo in the early afternoon and made the brief journey from Cairo International Airport to the Intercontinental. For security reasons, all cars must stop before winding their way up to the lobby area, but it is typically only a brief stop just to allow a dog to sniff the trunk and around the vehicle.
