NEWS | Hilton, Delta for Tourism & Hotels sign management agreement for upcoming Alexandria property


Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement with Delta for Tourism & Hotels Company to introduce a new Hilton Hotels & Resorts property to the city of Alexandria, Egypt. The 158-room Hilton Alexandria Corniche, a conversion property, is expected to open in 2013 and will be Hilton’s 19th property in the country and its second in Alexandria. Hilton Alexandria Corniche will be at a prime location in Alexandria's most upscale district on the city's Corniche.
The property will feature two large function rooms, four meeting rooms, a business centre, three restaurants, two of which will be speciality, and two bars. Leisure facilities will include a health club and spa, private beach and an outdoor pool. Rudi Jagersbacher, President, Hilton Worldwide Middle East and Africa, said, "I am thrilled we continue to build on our important legacy in Egypt, a country we have served for more than 50 years. Alexandria is an inspired choice for our latest signing, it is a vibrant city with a strong business and tourism sector and our new hotel, commanding a superior beachfront location, will perfectly complement the facilities at our existing city-based hotel in Alexandria." Dave Horton, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts said: "As the pre-eminent hospitality provider in the region, our portfolio of properties in Egypt incorporates many styles and offerings but all share the well-defined, distinctive company hallmarks of top quality facilities and high standards of service. Hilton Alexandria Corniche will perfectly combine these style and service attributes to create a premium experience for both leisure and business travellers." Tarek El Sayed, Chairman, Delta for Tourism & Hotels Company, said, "We wanted to collaborate with an internationally-recognised brand to match our ambition to provide world-class hotel facilities. Hilton Worldwide has the experience and the reputation and were our natural first choice to operate this landmark property."
