Hilton, in collaboration with Misr Company for Investment and Development (MID), has signed DoubleTree by Hilton New Cairo At Forty Residences in the New Cairo district, Egypt.

The upscale property, slated to open in 2027, will be part of the 'At Forty' commercial complex.

MID CEO Ahmed Hamada Abo El Enein said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Hilton to open DoubleTree by Hilton New Cairo At Forty Residences.

“The ‘At Forty’ complex will feature a diverse selection of high-end brands, five-star dining experiences and entertainment options catering to the diverse needs of our clients.”

The hotel will feature 70 serviced apartments, including 53 studios, 12 one-bedroom, and five two-bedroom units.

It will also have a lobby café and bar, an all-day dining restaurant with a terrace, an additional bar and a fitness centre.

The property will be situated near the American University of Cairo and The International School of Elite.

Hilton Middle East & Africa development vice president Carlos Khneisser said: “We are excited to be working with Misr Company for Investment and Development Co to launch DoubleTree by Hilton New Cairo At Forty Residences.

“The hotel will be a valuable addition to our existing portfolio in Cairo, in line with the growing demand for quality extended-stay accommodation.”

Hilton aims to more than double its network in Egypt.

Currently, Hilton operates 14 hotels in the country and has 20 more in the pipeline.

It includes six existing properties in Cairo and 11 under development, among them the forthcoming Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi and DoubleTree by Hilton Mangroovy El Gouna Resort.

This follows Hilton's expansion into Croatia, where it introduced the Curio Collection by Hilton portfolio with the opening of the Keight Hotel Opatija.
