The accommodation inventory at the hotel will comprise rooms and suites. It will also feature four dining venues, including an all-day dining facility, a lounge in the lobby, and a bar.

Corporate and social gatherings will be accommodated across six dedicated event spaces.

Recreational and wellness amenities planned for the development include a swimming pool, a gymnasium and fitness centre, spa facilities, and retail units.

The layout of the hotel will align with Crowne Plaza’s current brand standards tailored to contemporary guest requirements.

This includes the Plaza Workspace format, which reconfigures communal lobby areas into designated sections intended for work and casual use.

In addition, the guest quarters will feature the brand’s WorkLife Room layout, dividing interior space into distinct areas intended for work tasks, rest, and sleep.

IHG Hotels & Resorts India, Middle East & Africa managing director Haitham Mattar said: “New Cairo is evolving rapidly, with continued investment in businesses, communities and infrastructure strengthening its position as an increasingly important commercial destination.

“That growth is creating new reasons to travel to this part of the city and, in turn, greater demand for high quality, internationally branded hotels that can serve both business and leisure guests.

“Crowne Plaza is particularly well suited to this market because today’s guests rarely separate work and downtime as they once did.

“They want a hotel that gives them the flexibility to work, connect with colleagues, and switch off – all within the same stay.

“Crowne Plaza New Cairo has been planned with exactly that in mind and we’re pleased to be working with Emaar Al Delta to bring the brand to this growing part of Cairo.”
