In the normal course of events, yes you will. The hotel is attached to T3, but it is most definitely landside. For most nationalities getting a visa is virtually hassle-free - you buy it for $25 (or equivalent) at the currency exchange booths and stick it in your passport, then present the document to the border officials.
If Egyptair is handling your stay, different rules might apply.
