I would agree that this hotel is not worth $550/night.
It seems the Sofitel is located on the other side of the river, away from the Egyptian Museum. I suspect it's not as walkable a location as the FS.
Don't know much about the Fairmont, other than there are two locations (like the FS). Do not book the wrong one, or you'll be stuck in no man's land (Nasr City - near the airport).

The Sofitel has a bridge over to it and is a short enough walk from the four S Nile Plaza
The view of the Nile and sound of the traffic as you sit on the balcony in one of those rooms in the four S NP is surreal
Similarly the Nile view in the main bar
I thought the food at their Chinese restaurant was delicious
I've stayed once in the fairmont near the airport prior to a flight,it's huge and very modern
