Cushions are set out on the steps outside, What is it?…

Lvxor Kavana… A titular nod to the sixteen sphinxes that once guarded the entrance to the mausoleum (and the one that remains). Kavana Lvxor’s location on the Peristyle is stellar. And the services on offer match the quality of the location. There’s wireless Internet, magazines and daily newspapers in foreign languages and a broad menu that includes normal café fare, plus cocktails, sandwiches and breakfast in the morning. In the warmer months, cushions are places on the steps of the Peristyle so you can lounge around in true imperial style.

The black sphinx sitting on the opposite wall of the Peristyl provides the inspiration behind this Egyptian-themed café. Although the inner decoration, with its florid ceiling paintings and rich fabrics, leaves no style unturned. Observe the regular passage of people from the comfort of a relaxing sink-in chair.
