Built around Khedive Ismail's 19th-century Gezira Palace, Cairo Marriott Hotel combines gardens, Nile-view balconies and a landmark Zamalek address. Yanni appeared here in October 2015 for the press conference ahead of his concerts at the Giza pyramids; separate contemporary reports place the composer at the completed event inside the Marriott. It was an event appearance, not proof of a stay, but it adds a well-documented modern chapter to the palace hotel's long public life.
