Kempinski Hotels will foray into boutique hotels by opening doors of its first hotel in Cairo, Egypt, next month, according to a senior hotel executive.

Designed by French architect Pierre Yves Rochon, the Kempinski Nile Hotel will house 191 rooms and be the first boutique hotel in the Egyptian capital.

Axel Ludwig, General Manager, Kempinski Nile Hotel, said: "The prime location of the property, combined with its superlative facilities, give Kempinski a great opportunity to positively establish the brand in Cairo. The hotel design and location offer a great competitive advantage.

"Kempinski Nile Hotel is set to offer the key values of city boutique hotels. The contemporary elegant design combined with the warm atmosphere and the tailored service reflecting the European luxury and life style blended with the Egyptian culture."

The hotel is expected to serve as an oasis of peace, relaxation and art, he said.
