BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Westin Hotels and
Resorts, part of Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR), today
announced the opening of Egypt's
best kept secret, The Westin Cairo Golf Resort & Spa Katameya
Dunes. Owned by New Cairo for Real Estate Investment Company, the
resort and spa is located in the prestigious, residential community
of Katameya Dunes, anchored by a 27-hole championship golf course
designed by world-renowned Nick
Faldo and Brian Curley. With
Westin's signature wellness initiatives offered for global
travelers and local residents alike, the hotel is poised to set a
new standard for well-being in Cairo.
"The global demand for wellness continues to propel Westin's
growth momentum around the world, including our debut in new
markets like Doha and Dubai and our expanded presence in
destinations like Spain,
Germany and now Egypt," said Brian
Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Westin Hotels & Resorts.
"As the second hotel Westin will open in Egypt this year, we are thrilled to introduce
the brand in Cairo and inspire new
level of well-being for our guests' before, during and after their
stay."
With 135 guestrooms and suites, the thoughtfully-designed resort
and spa feels residential and intimate, yet open and airy: designed
with a biophilic-focus, suggesting that a connection to nature
enhances well-being. Colors found in nature inspired the
sophisticated palette coupled with natural materials and patterns
that add textural layers to the interior design. Each of the
well-appointed guestrooms offers views of the lush landscape that
surround the grounds, from verdant fairways to meandering lagoons.
Taking center stage, and illustrative of the resort's overall
design, an art installation of white doves suspended from the
ceiling is located in the serene and inviting lobby.
"The Westin Cairo Golf Resort & Spa Katameya Dunes provides
a restorative retreat in the heart of the bustling city with
genuine service, complemented with the Westin signature well-being
offerings that fuel and energize our guests' every move,"
Eben Nel, General Manager, The
Westin Cairo Golf Resort & spa Katameya Dunes added.
The Westin Cairo Golf Resort & Spa Katameya Dunes features
three dining options, including a pool bar, golf club bar and
Paloma – an all-day Mediterranean restaurant that features an
open-kitchen in its center as well as the brand's signature
Vertical Garden, which brings the benefits of nature into the
hotel's public space. The restaurant offers variety of culinary
options alongside Westin's nutrient-rich and delicious
SuperFoodsRx™ and Fresh by the Juicery menus.
With the brand's mission to be a partner in guests' well-being
while traveling, The Westin Cairo Golf Resort & Spa Katameya
Dunes features an idyllic, naturally-lit indoor plunge pool as well
as a sprawling, heated outdoor pool located at the center of the
resort. Additionally, the 3000 square meter Heavenly
Spa by Westin boasts 10 therapy rooms and two couple suites as well
as state-of-the-art facilities, including a high-tech steam room,
"Rain Shower" and sauna – all design to soothe the spirit,
rejuvenate the body, and enrich the mind.
The hotel also offers the renowned RunWESTIN™ program with
three- and five-mile jogging routes through the residential
neighborhood, as well as a WestinWORKOUT® fitness studio with
