Accor Expands Egypt Portfolio with New Mövenpick Signing in West Cairo

New Mövenpick Property Joins Accor in Egypt

Accor has confirmed the signing of Mövenpick Cairo West, a 220-room hotel to be located in West Cairo. This signing represents the Group’s ongoing growth in Egypt and reinforces Mövenpick’s established national presence.

Set to launch in 2028, this project, created by Crest Development via its real estate arm Living Lines, will be integrated into a broader mixed-use masterplan in the expanding Sheikh Zayed City area, addressing the increasing need for top-tier accommodations throughout Greater Cairo.

Ideally located to cater to both 6th of October City and Sheikh Zayed City, Mövenpick Cairo West offers guests easy access to major business hubs, esteemed educational and healthcare facilities, and popular attractions like the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids, all within a convenient 20–30-minute drive. This property will include 220 guest rooms and suites, two dining establishments, a bar, a spacious 500 sqm ballroom, four meeting rooms, and a comprehensive range of wellness and leisure facilities, featuring a spa, fitness centre, and two swimming pools.

“Our partnership with Crest Development will welcome an exciting addition to Accor’s growing portfolio in Egypt,” said Paul Stevens, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & Türkiye, at Accor.

“This signing reflects a shared ambition to deliver premium hospitality experiences in high-potential locations, fully aligned with Egypt Vision 2030 and the country’s urban expansion priorities. Mövenpick Cairo West will meet the rising demand for premium stays while exemplifying sustainable design and authentic local experiences.”

This agreement strengthens Accor’s position in Egypt and supports the strategy to grow in high-potential markets such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, as the larger region experiences an increase in travel.

“We are proud to collaborate with Accor on this landmark development,” said Ibrahim Zidan, Founder and Chairman of Crest Development. 

“With Living Lines leading the real estate vision, this partnership combines our ambition for innovative, sustainable urban development with Accor’s global expertise in hospitality. Mövenpick Cairo West is set to become a cornerstone destination for both domestic and international travellers.”

Mövenpick embodies Swiss heritage while embracing modern connections. Originally a restaurant concept that transformed European dining with its warmth and generosity, Mövenpick has grown into one of the most recognized hospitality brands globally, featuring 16 properties across Egypt in locations such as Cairo, Aswan, Sharm El Sheikh, El Quseir, Gouna, and along the Nile. Rooted in a strong tradition of food, family, and sincere service, the contemporary Mövenpick experience focuses on fostering meaningful reconnections through thoughtful design, shared traditions, and celebratory moments. Highlights include Chocolate Hour, engaging family activities, and immersive dining experiences, offering guests a blend of everyday indulgence and a lively sense of community.

The recently opened Mövenpick Cairo West marks a significant milestone in Accor’s strategy to align its growth with the rapid urban development occurring throughout Egypt. This new addition not only enhances Accor’s footprint in the country but also reinforces its presence in vibrant suburban areas that are emerging as key business and lifestyle hubs.

With an impressive portfolio of 38 hotels across six distinct brands, Accor boasts a total of 12,900 rooms in Egypt. On top of that, the company has ambitious plans for the future, with a pipeline of 20 new properties set to introduce an additional 6,700 rooms to the market. Among the notable hotels already operating in the region are the contemporary Novotel Cairo 6th October and the elegant Mövenpick Cairo Media City. Furthermore, the highly anticipated Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza Hotel is poised to be a highlight in Accor’s expanding collection, offering luxurious accommodations with breathtaking views of one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.
