IHG’s latest move in Egypt introduces Hotel Indigo New Cairo, positioning the boutique hotel brand at the heart of the city’s dynamic Red (G) district

IHG Hotels & Resorts is painting a bold new picture of hospitality in Egypt, teaming up with Jadeer Group to bring Hotel Indigo to New Cairo. Set to open its doors in 2031, the 120-room boutique hotel will be nestled in the vibrant Red (G) mixed-use development—a lively destination combining homes, retail, and leisure in one connected community.

Located along North 90 Street, the future Hotel Indigo New Cairo will be just minutes from the New Administrative Capital and the American University in Cairo, placing it in the heart of a district that’s fast becoming a magnet for business travelers, students, and culture-seekers.

Culture and comfort

No two Hotel Indigos are alike, and that’s part of what makes them so unique. Designed to mirror the soul of its neighborhood, every property is an immersive local experience wrapped in comfort and boutique flair. In New Cairo, this means a hotel that draws on the area’s heritage, modern growth, and unmistakable energy.

Guests can expect design elements that reflect the city’s contrasts and locally rooted dining experiences that go far beyond just room service. For suppliers looking to work with a hotel that values creativity and local character, Hotel Indigo New Cairo is a fresh opportunity to be part of something truly different.

“Egypt is a priority market for IHG,” said Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “The area is rapidly emerging as a hub for business, education, and lifestyle, making it an ideal location for a brand that celebrates uniqueness and thrives in culture and design-rich neighborhoods.”

A new chapter in New Cairo

“Our partnership with IHG for Hotel Indigo New Cairo marks an important milestone towards our vision for Red (G),” said Mohamed Abo ElKheir, CEO of Jadeer Group. “The Hotel Indigo brand, a brand renowned for combining lifestyle and culture, is a great fit for New Cairo. We are confident this hotel will attract both local and international travelers, offering a unique hospitality experience that tells the vibrant story of the neighborhood.”

IHG already operates eight hotels in Egypt and has 22 more in the pipeline. With this latest signing, the company continues to solidify its commitment to Egypt’s hospitality future—and to creating spaces that feel just as alive as the cities they’re in.
