Waldorf Astoria makes African debut with Cairo Heliopolis property

The property took the mantle of the first Egyptian and African property in the Waldorf Astoria portfolio when it opened today. 

Situated in the ancient city of Heliopolis, with Downtown Cairo, the Grand Egyptian Museum and more must-see spots on its doorstep, the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis guarantees a welcoming atmosphere and personalised service.

The hotel is home to 252 contemporary deluxe rooms and suites, along with four on-site restaurants. 

Simon Vincent, executive vice president and president, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Hilton, said: "Egypt welcomed 11.7 million tourists in 2022, up 46% on the previous year, and with Cairo often being the starting point for travellers’ journey to discover Egypt, we are delighted to bring the world-renowned luxury of Waldorf Astoria to this sought-after destination. 

"Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis will appeal to discerning guests seeking world-class luxury, offering enriching experiences and unparalleled service within easy reach of Cairo’s vibrant cultural and heritage sites."
