Ritz-Carlton to open in Egypt in 2012

OBMI, the architectual design and consulting firm has designed the Ritz-Carlton Cairo, Palm Hills in Egypt.

As principal designers, the company has revealed the final design concept of the 160-room luxury hotel, featuring views of the great pyramids of Giza.

OBMI said the firm's architects drew inspiration from Egypt's rich heritage and cultural influences, to create a modern resort capturing the regions' mystical aura and unique architecture.

According to OBMI, CEO, Doug Kulig, the company's vision will be seen throughout various architectural elements such as the hotel's metal columns, designed to resemble the structural elegance of the papyrus plant, and the introduction of various water systems, inspired by ancient irrigation canals settled along the famous Nile Basin. Reinterpreting the aesthetic of the Egyptian architecture, the firm included different courtyards and semi enclosed outdoor spaces positioned in sequence, designed to provide guests with a sense of intrigue as they explore the resort's multiple passages.

The hotel will feature a 1,390sqm spa and a golf club house. Within the house will be meeting rooms and dining rooms.

Other key features at the Ritz-Carton Cairo, Palm Hills will include an 840sqm grand ballroom, a junior ballroom and a boardroom to be utilized for both conferences and social receptions. Additional hotel features include two swimming pools, a health club, a Shisha Terrace, among other sophisticated amenities typical of the Egyptian lifestyle.

Set to open in 2012, The Ritz-Carlton Cairo, Palm Hills is currently being developed by Palm Hills Developments (PHD).
