IHG Hotels & Resorts expands luxury and lifestyle footprint in Egypt | News
IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has signed a management agreement with JADEER GROUP for Hotel Indigo Cairo New Administrative Capital, further expanding the company’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio in Egypt. The 140-room hotel will be located in a mixed-use project in the new capital in eastern Cairo and is expected to open in 2033.
Hotel Indigo Cairo New Administrative Capital will be well positioned to serve the area’s growing business, government and residential ecosystem, catering to both business and leisure demand. The brand’s lifestyle positioning and strong neighborhood storytelling ensure the brand fits naturally into the evolving urban landscape of the New Capital, which is rapidly developing as Egypt’s future administrative and commercial center.
Located east of Greater Cairo, the New Capital is one of Egypt’s most important national development projects, designed as a smart, master-planned city with modern infrastructure, government and diplomatic districts, prime residential communities and large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments. With a strong connection to Cairo via major highways and planned transport networks, in addition to a growing pipeline of cultural, shopping and lifestyle destinations, the New Capital is poised to become a major demand generator for hospitality.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Egypt remains a priority market for IHG, and the New Capital represents a significant opportunity as the country’s future administrative and business hub. Hotel Indigo is particularly suited to this evolving urban environment, offering a lifestyle-focused experience that resonates with business and leisure travelers alike. We are pleased to build on our partnership with JADEER GROUP and our presence at this important destination further.
Mahmoud Abou Al Khair, Chairman of JADEER GROUP, added: “Our continued partnership with IHG reflects our confidence in their global expertise and strong brand portfolio. Following the signing of Hotel Indigo New Cairo, our partnership with IHG for Hotel Indigo Cairo New Administrative Capital is a strategic addition that aligns with our vision to develop distinctive mixed-use destinations. We believe the brand’s focus on design, culture and neighborhood stories will resonate strongly within the New Capital.
As one of IHG’s leading lifestyle brands, Hotel Indigo properties provide a gateway to some of the most inspiring neighborhoods in the world. Just as no two neighborhoods are the same, no two Hotel Indigo hotels are the same, with each hotel drawing inspiration from its surroundings to shape its design, experiences and locally inspired dining concepts.
Hotel Indigo Cairo New Administrative Capital will reflect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, with locally inspired designs and experiences that celebrate the city’s evolving urban identity. The hotel will provide an inspiring, lifestyle-based stay, introducing guests to the creativity, culture and energy of the new capital, while catering to both business and leisure travelers.
The signing builds on the strong partnership between IHG and JADEER GROUP, following the announcement of Hotel Indigo New Cairo in September last year, and reflects the owner’s continued confidence in IHG and its lifestyle brands.
The project also strengthens IHG’s presence in the new capital and complements the existing pipeline of InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn hotels in the area.
IHG Hotels & Resorts currently operates 9 hotels in Egypt across four brands: InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites, with a strong pipeline of 23 hotels to open in the coming years, underscoring the Group’s long-term commitment to the Egyptian hospitality sector.
