IHG to manage 170-key Holiday Inn branded property in Cairo

Egyptian developer Al Ashraaf Developments and IHG Hotels & Resorts have partnered to launch Holiday Inn Cairo Al Obour in Cairo, Egypt. This 170-key property will be located in Al Obour City, an urban fast-growing destination northeast of Cairo recognised for its connectivity to Cairo International Airport and proximity to large-scale residential, commercial, and industrial developments.

The development features 170 guest rooms, including 11 suites, four food and beverage outlets, five meeting spaces, and retail outlets.

Eng. Ahmed Amin Masoud, CEO of Al Ashraaf Group, said, “Our partnership with a global leader like IHG to launch Holiday Inn in Al Obour City marks a strategic milestone for Al-Ishraf’s investments. We believe the hotel will redefine hospitality standards in the area, elevating Al Obour’s status as an integrated urban destination that combines comfort, convenience and connectivity for visitors.”

Situated along the Cairo-Ismailia Desert Road, the location offers excellent access to major transportation networks, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travellers. This addition is set to strengthen Cairo’s position as a major gateway for North African tourism and business.

Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “Egypt continues to be a key growth market for IHG, and we are pleased to partner with Al Ashraaf to bring the Holiday Inn brand to Al Obour City. The new hotel will offer our signature next-generation hospitality experience, tailored to the evolving needs of modern travellers, making it an attractive destination for both business and tourism. With this new property, we aim to further cater to the growing demand for high-quality hospitality and accommodation across Egypt, while contributing to the region’s tourism and economic growth ambitions.

IHG’s Holiday Inn brand manages over 1,200 open hotels globally. Holiday Inn Cairo Al Obour will feature IHG’s Holiday Inn brand’s open lobby concept which turns traditional hotel lobby into a versatile hub where guests can work, dine, or relax.

IHG currently has eight hotels operating across four brands in Egypt, including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, and Staybridge Suites. Additionally, IHG has a robust pipeline of 22 hotels scheduled to open across Egypt within the next two to five years.
