Egypt’s 1st Art-Themed Hotel Opens in Cairo: Hyatt Centric Cairo West Debuts as Regional Landmark

Representing Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, officially inaugurated Hyatt Centric Cairo West on Tuesday, marking the launch of the first art-themed hotel in Egypt and Africa.

The hotel introduces a novel hospitality experience by fusing contemporary Egyptian art with modern design, offering guests an immersive cultural stay. Every aspect of the property—from its architecture to its interior details—reflects a bold celebration of modern Egyptian artistic identity.

During the ceremony, officials also unveiled Hyatt Centric Cairo West Residences, a residential development tied to the hotel and notable as the first in Egypt where hotel operations precede the release of its residential units—a unique approach in the country’s real estate market.

Developed through a partnership between ADD Real Estate Development, a subsidiary of Sami Saad Holding Group, and global hospitality leader Hyatt Hotels Corporation, the project highlights a growing trend of integrated hospitality and residential ventures.

Prominent figures in attendance included Basil Sami Saad, Chairman of ADD Real Estate Development, and Javier Águila, President of Hyatt Hotels Corporation for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

The launch supports Egypt’s broader strategy to attract investment in tourism, boost the hospitality sector, and promote sustainable tourism and real estate projects that fuel economic development.

Officials praised the project’s innovative fusion of culture, design, and upscale living, calling it a new benchmark in Egypt’s evolving tourism and investment landscape.
