Each voco property is characterised by its individual charm, which provides guests with something unique while creating an inviting and unstuffy atmosphere for guests to truly unwind and feel at ease. Bringing a fresh "lifestyle" energy to New Cairo, the hotel blends the prestige of a global leader with the soul of a boutique original, making it the perfect gateway to explore the city’s modern pulse.

Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to bring the voco brand to Egypt for the first time, marking a significant milestone in our expansion across the region. Egypt’s hospitality landscape is evolving rapidly, and there is a growing demand for upscale, lifestyle-led experiences that offer the reliability of a global brand with the warmth of a boutique stay. voco Cairo Arabella Plaza is perfectly positioned to meet this demand, offering a refreshingly different choice for both international travellers and the local community in New Cairo.”

Integrated directly into the Arabella Plaza Mall, the 80-room hotel is perfectly positioned for those who want to be at the center of the action. The property offers a "best of both worlds" experience: the high-end convenience of a premier lifestyle mall combined with the sanctuary-like comfort of a premium hotel.

“Bringing voco to Egypt for the first time is a proud moment for us. We are breaking the mold of the traditional hotel stay by combining the playfulness of the voco brand with New Cairo’s dynamic energy, offering guests an experience that is as individual as they are,” said Asmaa El-Hadary, General Manager, voco Cairo Arabella Plaza.
