Sofitel Cairo New Capital Hotel & Residences

The new property will be located in the heart of the New Administrative Capital (NAC) of Cairo, a city designed on its own and featuring hospitality, residential, entertainment, commercial, retail components and government entities, including the presidential palace, parliament, cabinet, supreme court, all ministries of Egypt and various foreign embassies.

The property will introduce two towers, and a podium, in which the first tower will feature 200 hotel keys and 280 branded residences, from one to four bedrooms, while the second tower will include offices and commercial spaces.

The group is collaborating with Edge Holding, an Egyptian real-estate developer created by Al Borouj Misr Developments and Al Mashariq KSA as a joint venture in 2018.

Strategically located at the centre of the NAC, with various parks, an international airport, educational institutes, medical facilities and 20 skyscrapers, including Africa's tallest tower, the property will also offer convenient and easy access to the main roads running from north to south and further connecting the NAC to the rest of Cairo.

Once open, Sofitel Cairo New Capital Hotel & Residences is expected to meet guests and travellers expectations, whether they are looking for a convenient location within the NAC with luxurious offerings or for long-term accommodation through the branded residences onsite. In addition, the property will also feature five Food & Beverage venues, ample meeting space and large recreational areas.

Accor currently operates 34 properties (9,399 keys) in Egypt, with another 34 (9,951 keys) in the pipeline.
