Moxy Cairo Downtown to open in 2029

Marriott International and Reliance Egypt’s hospitality investment arm, Reliance Ventures, have partnered to open the first Moxy Hotel in Cairo.

Slated for a 2029 opening, Moxy Cairo Downtown is described as a playful and stylish hospitality brand that offers social spaces and is targeted at the ‘young at heart’.

Design plans include a fitness centre, public spaces, a fun grab-and-go concept and communal tables offering plenty of opportunities to plug and play.

The hotel will be part of an adaptive reuse project of the Lazoghly complex of buildings, which were formerly the offices of Egypt’s Ministry of Interior. The precinct is being repurposed to offer hotels, offices, co-working spaces, retail outlets, restaurants and edutainment facilities.

From its position in Downtown Cairo, the hotel is near iconic landmarks such as Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum and the Cairo Opera House and the Nile River.

“There is a growing demand for more lifestyle hotel accommodation options in Downtown Cairo and Moxy Hotels will be a great addition to the city’s hospitality landscape with its playful and stylish experience,” said Shady Hassan, Vice President, Development – North Africa, Marriott International.

“We look forward to working with Reliance Ventures to bring the brand’s social spaces and engaging programming to this vibrant area of the city at an attractive price point.”

Amr Elhamy, Chief Executive Officer, TSFE Tourism, Real Estate & Antiquities Subfund added: “This project is in line with the fund’s aim to work on various repurposing projects that will help regenerate the area and utilise assets rich in architectural and heritage value.”
