Le Riad is the brainchild of Veronique Sedro, whose passion is reflected in every detail of the design; and the industrious Youssef Takla whose dedication and hard work are behind the creation of this unique boutique hotel. Sedro and Takla transformed the 160s apartment block into the Old Cairo’s one and only luxury boutique hotel.
