Some years ago after a few days in Cairo to visit the pyramids etc., we went on to Alexandria and stayed in a hotel, with all its spender that probably dated back to the old empire days. Entering the room we had at The Eagle House Hotel, although smaller and not as grand, was a reminder of our stay in Alexandria.
There was also a bar at the Eagle, that does very good meals in the evenings to save having to go out again to find somewhere to eat. The bar also had real ale. Very good breakfast in the morning
There is also a Castle, literally just up the road, to visit.
