Highly anticipated reopening of iconic Sheraton Cairo announced
The hotel emerges after extensive renovation to reveal a distinct and vibrant aesthetic with modern interiors, refreshed public spaces and innovative and revitalised dining concepts. Perched on the West Bank of the River Nile, it enjoys a prime location, in the heart of the city, just steps away from the Egyptian Museum, Cairo Opera House and the iconic 70 story Cairo Tower. With signature brand experiences and the warmth of the familiar hallmark Sheraton service that goes above and beyond to make every guest experience meaningful, the hotel is poised to quickly regain its glory of yesteryears.
“Sheraton Cairo was our first Sheraton hotel in Africa and has been a local icon since it’s opening in 1971,” said Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International. “The reopening of this hotel is a milestone in our journey as it not only showcases our transformation efforts around the Sheraton brand but also reinstates our commitment to Egypt as a strategic growth market.”
