Marriott to Open Six New Hotels and Over 1,500 Keys Across Egypt

Marriott International has entered into a landmark agreement with Misr Italia Properties and People & Places to develop nine total properties, representing over 1,500 keys, across Egypt’s most sought-after coastal and urban destinations.

The multi-deal agreement is designed to enhance the breadth of Egypt’s hospitality experiences and luxury living offerings, while supporting the country’s broader ambition to grow its tourism sector and reinforce its position as a compelling destination for international investment.

Spanning beach resorts, urban hotels and branded residences across Marriott’s luxury and premium brands, the new projects are designed to serve the evolving needs of travelers and residents across Egypt, including brands such as The Ritz-Carlton Hotels, The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts and Autograph Collection.

Anticipated projects include:

• Across Ras Al Hekma on the North Coast of Egypt to the east of Alexandria:

• A hotel under The Ritz-Carlton brand is slated to offer 170 guest rooms, alongside a 268-unit Ritz-Carlton Residences, located within the beachfront community, The Med Ras El Hekma.

• Situated within the integrated coastal destination of Solare Ras El Hekma, an Autograph Collection hotel, with 180 guest rooms will be adjoined by 250 Autograph Collection branded residences.

• Located at The Hills of One, a mixed-use development in Sphinx City within West Cairo, a Luxury Collection hotel is planned to offer 180 hotel rooms alongside 180 residences.

• Situated within Ain Sokhna’s flagship beachfront development Kai Sokhna Red Sea, an Autograph Collection hotel, with 80 hotel rooms, will be co-located with 172 branded residences.

• A 100-room Autograph Collection hotel within Garden 8, a premiere lifestyle destination in East Cairo.

The announcement further strengthens the relationship between Marriott International and Misr Italia following the signing of Marriott Executive Apartments and a Westin Residences in 2022. The anticipated projects will be located within the Il Bosco development in Cairo’s New Administrative Capital.

Misr Italia Properties and People & Places are working toward building a portfolio of approximately 50 hospitality assets by 2037, reinforcing its position as one of Egypt's leading developers of integrated hospitality and lifestyle destinations while supporting the country's tourism growth and economic development.
