Hyatt Centric Cairo West has officially opened, marking its debut as the first art-centered lifestyle hotel in Egypt’s capital.
Situated in the heart of Cairo West, this unique property combines the city’s rich cultural heritage with contemporary design, inviting guests into a vibrant space inspired by Egyptian history and the local art scene.
Located near the iconic Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids, Hyatt Centric Cairo West is an ideal base for travelers eager to explore Cairo’s historic and artistic offerings.
The hotel boasts 301 elegantly curated guest rooms and suites, a 10,225 square foot pool, and an aqua gym featuring the interactive art installation character “Mr. Rizz.” Guests can also enjoy Egypt’s only built-in poolside billiard table and the country’s first podcast and guitar studio within a hotel.
Upon arrival, guests will embark on an artistic experience that brings Cairo’s past and present to life. In a unique collaboration with 11 local Egyptian artists, including Ibrahim Khattab, Mohamed Banawy, Bassem Youssri, Yasmine El Meleegy, Sayed Waked, Marwan Sabra, Ehab El Toukhy, Omar Tousson, and Mariam El Kasabany, these talented creators have been carefully selected to infuse the hotel’s design with an authentic blend of modern and traditional elements, transforming each space into a gallery of contemporary Egyptian art.
With a prime location at Cairo’s western end, by the city’s major business hubs and tourist attractions, the lifestyle hotel offers travelers a new way to stay in the Egyptian capital and provides a perfect launchpad to explore the surrounding neighborhood.
Hyatt Centric Cairo West also offers a visually stunning exploration of Egypt’s timeless legacy through its locally inspired design. The collaborative artworks span a range of mediums, including sculpting, painting, and mixed media that are strategically placed in key areas such as the reception area, guest rooms, and public spaces.
The hotel guestrooms have been inspired by the ancient Egyptian baboon – a charming motif, deeply rooted in the country’s heritage. Each baboon is adorned with lively colors, enhancing the room’s artistic ambiance and blending modernity with ancient charm. As guests enter their room, they are greeted by this charming creature, symbolizing warmth, hospitality, and the promise of a new adventure at Hyatt Centric Cairo West.
