Egypt’s first Signia by Hilton hotel...

The property will include an outdoor pool and one of the city’s largest event spaces

Hilton Hotels is set to bring its Signia by Hilton brand to Egypt.

Signia by Hilton Cairo Skywalk and Signia by Hilton Residences Cairo Skywalk will open in Cairo’s newest destination, a prestigious mixed-use development in west Cairo with retail, F&B venues and hotels.

This will mark the brand’s debut in Egypt and Africa and second property in the Middle East, with the 272-key Signia by Hilton Amman in Jordan open since February 2025.

Strategically located just minutes from downtown, the two properties will offer easy access to the city’s landmarks, from the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) to the Giza Pyramids. The Sphinx International Airport is a 20-minute car ride, while Cairo International Airport is 50 minutes away.

The development, a collaboration between Hilton Hotels and Skywalk Developments, will “redefine urban living, offering residents and visitors an unbeatable location and a lifestyle community that provides the perfect blend of entertainment, hospitality and retail”, said Khaled Rasekh, Chairman at Skywalk Developments.

The hotel will offer 200 rooms and suites, including Club Signia suites offering guests access to an exclusive lounge with bespoke concierge services and chef-curated, around-the-clock meals.

Five restaurants and bars include an all-day dining venue, a grill and a pool bar, with other facilities including a gym, an outdoor swimming pool, a spa and 5,000 square metres of meeting spaces, among the city’s largest capacities. A ballroom and an outdoor event lawn is part of the mix.

The residences will offer 200 units including one- and two-bedroom apartments and residents will have access to a private lounge, a pool, a fitness centre and a concierge.

Carlos Khneisser, Vice President, Development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton, said the two properties reflect Hilton’s commitment to Egypt with plans to “grow our footprint to more than 40 properties across the country in the coming years”.

Hilton’s fast-growing pipeline of more than 25 hotels in Egypt is expected to create some 5,000 new job opportunities.

The Middle East is a significant focus for Hilton Hotels and Resorts, with plans to double its footprint in the region, with 130 new properties and 35,000 new jobs in the pipeline.

Speaking with Connecting Travel in November 2024, Guy Hutchinson, Hilton President for the Middle East and Africa said that the UAE alone had seen a 50% growth in the number of hotels Hilton operates now. “We are just growing, doubling, quadrupling across the region.”

Saudi is a key market for Hilton, with 21 hotels currently operating and plans to more than quadruple its presence in the kingdom with more than 70 hotels under development, including three resorts at farm-based tourism destination Al Ahsa and the first Waldorf Astoria in Madinah.

One of its new openings is Hyatt Place AlUla Hotel which will debut at the end of 2025, with 215 rooms, two dining venues, a pool, fitness centre and a meeting space.

The group will also open a 250-key Hilton Garden Inn and a Curio Collection branded residences in Riyadh’s upcoming tourism and hospitality destination Osus Eye.
