Hilton Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement for its fourth property in Hurghada, Egypt-the 676-room Hilton Makadi Resort. Opening phase one with 330 guestrooms in June 2011, the resort will feature three restaurants, three lounges, three swimming pools, two meeting rooms, a health club, a spa, and a diving center.
“Our flagship brand first entered Hurghada in 1995,” says Jean-Paul Herzog, area president, Hilton Worldwide, Middle East and Africa. “Since then the area has developed rapidly and it continues to be a growing tourist destination. Makadi Bay, in particular, is a great location for our newest hotel along the Egyptian Red Sea coast.”
