The 303-key hotel will be situated directly across from the iconic Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. According to the group, guests can expect top-tier dining options and exclusive wellness facilities.

“By merging French luxury with Egypt’s rich heritage, we are excited to redefine the travel experience in Giza, with the hotel expected to open its doors in 2027,” Kotub added.
