Kleek Developments inks management agreement with global IHG for Crowne Plaza New Cairo

Kleek Developments has signed an agreement with IHG Hotels & Resorts for the management of Crowne Plaza New Cairo, a 250-room hotel located in Sixth Settlement. The hotel is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2031.

Hussein Dawoud, Founder and Chairman of Kleek Developments, said, “We are pleased to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to launch Crowne Plaza New Cairo, a project that reflects our confidence in one of the capital’s most dynamic and rapidly growing areas. We see a clear opportunity to deliver a high-quality destination that responds to this growing momentum, and we look forward to creating a hotel that becomes a prominent destination within this expanding area.”

He added that Crowne Plaza New Cairo has been designed to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers, offering flexible spaces that allow guests to move seamlessly between work, meetings, and leisure.

The hotel will feature the brand’s signature “Plaza Workspace” concept, which reimagines the traditional hotel lobby through dedicated spaces designed to meet guests’ personal and professional needs.

It will also include a “WorkLife Room,” offering separate areas for working, relaxing, and sleeping, providing guests with comfort, flexibility, and seamless connectivity throughout their stay.

He noted that Crowne Plaza New Cairo is located within a mixed-use development area undergoing rapid growth, positioning the hotel as a key destination serving the needs of businesses, commercial activities, and growing residential communities in East Cairo.

With continued investment in infrastructure, population growth, and rising demand from local and international companies, New Cairo has become one of Egypt’s fastest-growing areas, according to Dawoud.

He added that the hotel is planned to feature a variety of rooms and suites, along with four diverse food and beverage outlets, including an all-day dining restaurant offering a range of culinary experiences, a specialty restaurant, a lobby lounge, and a beverage bar.

He further pointed out that the hotel will also offer six dedicated meeting and event spaces, including meeting rooms and a ballroom, enabling guests to host a wide range of occasions, from business meetings and planning sessions to special events. Guests will also have access to a range of leisure and lifestyle facilities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, spa, and retail outlets.

For his part, Haitham Mattar, President of IHG Hotels & Resorts for India, Middle East and Africa, said, “New Cairo is experiencing rapid growth, with continued demand from businesses, new communities, and infrastructure projects strengthening its position as an increasingly important business destination. This growth is creating new reasons to visit this part of the city, driving demand for high-quality hospitality experiences from leading global brands that cater to the needs of both business and leisure travelers.”

The signing of the Crowne Plaza New Cairo agreement also comes as part of IHG’s ongoing efforts to expand its presence in Egypt. The group currently operates 10 hotels in Egypt, while its development pipeline includes 28 hotels, underscoring Egypt’s growing importance as one of the group’s strategic growth markets.

Mattar added, “The Crowne Plaza brand is an ideal choice to meet the needs of this market, as today’s guests are seeking an integrated experience that seamlessly combines work and relaxation within a single stay. They are looking for a hotel that allows them to work, connect, and enjoy their leisure time at the same time. Crowne Plaza New Cairo has been designed specifically around these needs, and we are pleased to partner with Emaar Delta to bring the brand to this growing part of Cairo.”
