Cairo, January, 2025 – Cairo House Egypt for Real Estate has announced it has signed an agreement
with Tourism Investment SAE and Marriott International to convert the historic Mogamma Al Tahrir into
an Autograph Collection Hotel. The signing of the deal is a major milestone in the Consortium’s plan to
repurpose the building into a prime hotel for the city and world class destination. Bringing an Autograph
Collection Hotel to the heart of the city is in line with The Sovereign Group of Egypt’s (TSFE) greater plan
for revitalization of downtown Cairo, for which the Mogamma Al Tahrir will serve as an anchor and
catalyst for future investments.
The development of the property will be led by the international consortium of developers and investors
including Global Ventures Group, Oxford Capital Group, Al Otaiba Investments and Zoser Capital
Partners.
Randall Langer of Global Ventures Group commented, “We are honored to work with Marriott
International to bring an Autograph Collection hotel to the Mogamma Al Tahrir building. We value the
Marriott alliance, the strong support of The Sovereign Fund of Egypt and the substantial efforts by the
numerous team members that are bringing this project to life.”
The Autograph Collection Hotel is expected to comprise 500 guestrooms and serviced apartments, along
with multiple dining and entertainment options. The hotel is also anticipated to feature a rooftop
swimming pool overlooking Tahrir Square with views of The Nile and the distant Giza Pyramids. Other
plans for the property include expansive meeting and event space, including a ballroom and unique
outdoor pavilion, as well as a fitness center and spa. The hotel will be situated within one of the most
popular districts in the city center. The area is surrounded by embassies, government offices and
financial institutions and is the focus of TSFE’s revitalization plan that will result in a new business,
tourist and residential center in the heart of Cairo.
The investment into the Mogamma Al Tahrir complex signifies a catalyst to future investment into
downtown Cairo and showcases Egypt’s strong initiative to boost their tourism sector.
On behalf of Oxford Capital Group, John Rutledge said, “We are excited to have achieved this important
milestone with our longtime friends and professional collaborators at Marriott International and look
forward to advancing this iconic project in the historic city of Cairo”
Jerome Briet, Chief Development Officer, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International added,
