A New Era for Egypt’s Hospitality Industry
The W Cairo Hotel represents a substantial investment exceeding $220 million, underscoring Marriott’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the Middle East and Africa.

This prime location offers seamless connectivity to Cairo’s central business district, the airport, and other key areas, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travelers.
