Guests can enjoy a variety of dining options, including a lobby café, an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, and a pool bar.

The hotel will also feature a 1,000 sqm ballroom and seven multifunctional meeting rooms, catering to conferences, corporate gatherings, and social events.

This property will reflect Hilton’s legacy of hospitality, providing vibrant and authentic experiences for visitors.

Hilton Garden Inn Cairo New Capital Downtown will feature 180 guest rooms and a flexible meeting room. The hotel will also have an all-day dining restaurant, lobby bar, and welcoming social spaces for guests to unwind.

Both properties will share facilities, including a fitness centre, spa, outdoor pool, and extensive meeting and event spaces, offering guests a complete range of services.
