IHG to add 400 rooms across two brands in Egypt

Egypt - IHG Hotels & Resorts has strengthened its partnership with one of the leading developers in Egypt, Arkan Palm for Real Estate Investment in a move that will see IHG add 400 rooms across InterContinental and voco brands in the country.

While InterContinental West Cairo 205 is scheduled for a January 2028 opening, the voco West Cairo 205 Suites is set to open by June 2026.

The hotels will be strategically located as part of Arkan Palm for Real Estate Investments new mixed-use development — 205 an Arkan Palm Development — in West Cairo, one of the prime areas in Egypt. The one million sqm development will feature offices, residence units, retail outlets, business parks, hospitals and clinics, an international school, plus a Canal Walk Island comprising of residential spaces and retail stores that is set to be the first-of-its-kind in Egypt.

The dual hotel signing, which will add 390 rooms to IHG’s portfolio in Egypt, caters to the high demand for luxury and premium guest experiences in the region. This agreement highlights IHG’s commitment to the Egyptian market, as well as the trust that the company’s long term partners place in IHG and its brand portfolio.
