IHG Hotels to Expand in Egypt with Crowne Plaza New Cairo

IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Kleek Development for a 250-key hotel in Sixth Settlement, New Cairo. Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2031.

The new Crowne Plaza hotel will build on IHG’s premium portfolio in Egypt and meet the growing demand for internationally branded hospitality in the capital.

Set within a fast-developing mixed-use corridor, Crowne Plaza New Cairo will serve East Cairo’s expanding business, commercial, and residential communities.

Supported by continued infrastructure investment, population growth, and rising demand from domestic and international businesses, New Cairo has become one of Egypt’s fastest-growing districts.

The hotel will offer a mix of guest rooms and suites, alongside four dining venues, including an an all-dining restaurant, a lobby lounge, and a bar. Six meetings and events spaces, including meeting rooms and a dedicated ballroom, will give guests an option to bring everyone together - from strategy sessions to standout celebrations.

Guests will be able to enjoy a range of leisure and lifestyle facilities, including a swimming pool, fitness centre, spa, and retail spaces.

Crowne Plaza New Cairo will be designed around the changing needs of modern travellers, with flexible spaces that allow guests to move easily between work, meetings, and downtime.

The brand’s Plaza Workspace offers a fresh take on the traditional hotel lobby, purposefully designed with dedicated areas that meet the needs of guests both personally and professionally.

Meanwhile, the brand’s WorkLife Room brings comfort, connectivity, and flexibility together through distinct zones for work, relaxation, and sleep.

The signing of Crowne Plaza New Cairo reflects IHG’s continued growth in Egypt. IHG currently operates 10 hotels in the country and has 28 hotels in the pipeline, underscoring Egypt’s continued importance as a strategic growth market for the company.
