Hilton announced the signing of Signia by Hilton Cairo Skywalk and Signia by Hilton Residences Cairo Skywalk in partnership with Skywalk Developments, bringing the Signia brand to Egypt and Africa for the first time. The two latest additions to Hilton’s luxury portfolio in Egypt will offer modern stays with cosmopolitan amenities, personalised service, and extensive meetings and events facilities for guests and residents alike.
Located within West Cairo’s newest destination, the properties will be surrounded by a business and entertainment park, as well as commercial and retail outlets. The hotel and branded residences will offer easy access to historical and cultural landmarks in Cairo and Giza including the newly-opened Grand Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids. Sphinx International Airport is a 20-minute car ride, while Cairo International Airport is 50 minutes away.
Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton, said: “As we continue to diversify and expand Hilton’s presence in Egypt, we’re thrilled to introduce Signia by Hilton to one of West Cairo’s prestigious new destinations. With plans to grow our footprint to more than 40 properties across the country in the coming years, this debut and partnership with Skywalk Developments reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and residential experiences in the region.”
Signia by Hilton Cairo Skywalk will house 200 elegantly designed guest rooms and suites and an array of dining venues including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lobby bar, and a pool bar and grill. Guests will be able to enjoy a range of facilities including a fully equipped fitness centre, a spa, and an outdoor pool. Guests staying in Club Signia rooms and suites will be able to enjoy a personalised service with access to the Club Signia lounge, bespoke concierge services and enhanced in-room amenities. Club Signia is an elevated experience inspired by private membership clubs, offering guests access to a private lounge with a dedicated Club Ambassador and chef-curated, around-the-clock meals.
Bringing Signia by Hilton’s signature meeting experience to Cairo, the hotel will offer nearly 5,000 square meters – one of the largest meeting spaces in the city – including a state-of-the-art ballroom, multifunction room and outdoor event lawn – making it a premier choice for meetings and events in the city.
Meanwhile, Signia by Hilton Residences Cairo Skywalk will offer a cosmopolitan living experience in the heart of West Cairo through its 200 modern units including one and two-bedroom apartments. In addition to enjoying the hotel’s dining venues, residents will have access to a wide variety of signature residential services and facilities including a private lounge, a pool and fitness centre, a valet desk and a concierge.
Khaled Rasekh, Chairman, Skywalk Developments, added: “With a shared vision for excellence, our partnership with Hilton will set a new benchmark for hospitality in Egypt. Cairo’s rich history and cultural attractions, combined with its growing status as a hub for conferences and events, continue to drive international and domestic tourism. Our latest development will redefine urban living, offering residents and visitors an unbeatable location and a lifestyle community that provides the perfect blend of entertainment, hospitality, and retail.”
This latest signing further solidifies Hilton’s leadership in the region, following the successful expansion of the brand across Europe, the Middle East and Africa with the opening of Signia by Hilton in Amman, Jordan. Hilton’s fast-growing pipeline of more than 25 hotels in Egypt is expected to create over 5,000 new job opportunities, further cementing the company’s commitment to local communities.
