Hilton aims to triple its presence in Egypt, with plans to open 25 hotels across the country in the next few years, including the signing of more than 10 new properties under the global hospitality company’s award-winning brands, Invest-Gate reports.
Hilton is on track to achieve its goal of operating 40 hotels in Egypt in the coming years.
New signings include Hilton’s lifestyle brand, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, which will mark its debut on the African continent, as well as Egypt’s first Curio Collection by Hilton.
The portfolio also features an all-inclusive resort under the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand, and the highly anticipated Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi, set to open in 2025. Another property opening in 2025 is the Abu Dabbab Lodge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton.
This will be the brand’s first presence on the African continent and will feature a premium eco-friendly resort with 92 guest rooms and suites, four dining venues, two swimming pools, a fully equipped fitness center, and a dedicated diving center offering high-quality marine experiences.
Several hotels in Hilton’s Egypt portfolio are currently undergoing refurbishments to modernize their interiors, including Ramses Hilton, Hilton Pyramids Golf, and Hilton Cairo Heliopolis.
In Marsa Alam, Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort will undergo an impressive refurbishment, adding 66 guest rooms and suites.
Meanwhile, DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh – Sharks Bay Resort is undergoing a complete renovation, with the first phase of 270 guest rooms slated for completion by June 2025.
“Egypt is our longest-standing market in the MEA region, where we’ve been operating for more than 60 years. We are excited to continue building on this legacy as we accelerate our growth, and we look forward to working closely with our valued owners to provide guests with reliable and friendly stays across the country. The debut of our lifestyle brands in Egypt marks an important milestone, allowing guests to truly immerse themselves in the rich experiences the country has to offer,” said Carlos Khneisser, Hilton’s Vice President of Development for the Middle East & Africa (MEA).
