Shepheard's Hotel was the leading hotel in Cairo and one of the most celebrated hotels in the world from the middle of the 19th century until its destruction in 1952 during the Cairo Fire. It was located across from the Azbakeya Gardens (30°03′15″N 31°14′47″E / 30.054158°N 31.246499°E / 30.054158; 31.246499).
