Cairo – Continental Hotel

A 19th-century landmark on Opera Square, originally opened in the 1860s and long one of Cairo’s civic hotels. The building is large by heritage standards and is expected to return with a substantial room count, likely well over 150 rooms, alongside extensive public spaces, ballrooms, and multiple restaurants. Expect a formal, historic style rooted in late-Ottoman and European influences. Facilities are expected to include multiple restaurants, large event spaces, and a central courtyard or garden link to Azbakeya Gardens.
