Egypt’s Landmark Sabbour, developer of premium-quality real estate, said on Monday it has signed a deal with Marriott International to bring the W Brand’s bold design, signature service, and innovative programming to Cairo, underscoring the growing demand for luxury in Egypt.
Expected to open in 2024, W Cairo will be situated in One-Ninety – a 300,000 square metres mixed-use development in the emerging New Cairo district featuring retail space, commercial, and residential components
Landmark Sabbour invested 28 billion Egyptian pounds ($1.75 billion) in its One-Ninety development.
Landmark Sabbour works with a vision that is not only based on leading through expansion, but also through collaboration.
Accordingly, Amr Sultan – Managing Director of Landmark Sabbour – said: “we choose to work with those who share our development standards, innovative perception of luxury community building, and whose objectives align with our own”.
He added: “our collaboration with Marriot International represents another milestone in our growth; it further demonstrates our commitment to collaborate with industry leaders, and stands as a chance to integrate the unique customer-centric services of W Hotels into our line of upscale products in One-Ninety.”
“New Cairo is a burgeoning, dynamic lifestyle destination in Cairo, and we are excited to collaborate with Landmark Sabbour to redefine modern luxury in one of the most awe-inspiring travel destinations in the world,” said Alex Kyriakidis, President and Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.

When W Cairo opens in 2024, the hotel will embody W Hotels’ work hard, play hard philosophy with a signature WET Deck (pool deck), Fitness Centre alongside 350 stunning rooms and suites.

New Cairo is planned to become Egypt’s new capital in the coming years.
