Cairo, Egypt - Hilton Sharm El Sheikh Fayrouz Resort recently opened its latest restaurant named in honour of Hilton Worldwide's global founder, Conrad Hilton - the man who launched the company in 1919 with the opening of his first hotel.
Hilton Sharm El Sheikh Fayrouz Resort has the distinction of playing host to the first outlet in the company's 18-strong Egypt portfolio to be named 'Connie', in honour of Hilton Worldwide's founder. The name also underscores the recent consecutive 'Connie Award' win, a hotel honour recognising leading service and hospitality standards, by Fayrouz's sister hotel Hilton Sharm El Sheikh Dreams Resort.
Boasting a coveted location on the beach promenade of Sharm's famous Naama Bay, Connie Café was officially opened in a glowing official reception with national and international guests joining the unveiling celebrations alongside members of the local Sharm community and hotel team members.
"As the fastest growing hospitality company worldwide, we're delivering on our promise to provide our guests and stakeholders with quality service and offerings that meet their needs," said Christian Muhr, vice president of operations for Hilton Worldwide, Egypt & Levant. "The opening of the Connie Café is a prime example of how our guest-focused innovations have helped set us apart in the Egyptian market, a market in which we continue to invest and are committed to providing shared value for our guests and the community."
The Connie Café is designed to be a welcoming and popular al-fresco venue for both guests and hotel visitors, taking prime position in an enviable beachfront location and offering an imaginative menu of chic café delights. Complimentary wi-fi and a wide range of sports channels are also available.
"We are excited to bring the dream of the Connie Café to reality," said Magdy Metwally, Sharm El Sheikh cluster general manager, Hilton Worldwide. "As one of the first hotels in Sharm El Sheikh, we are proud of our long-serving reputation and wanted a name for our latest attraction to reflect our passion for hospitality. The Connie Café seemed the perfect choice to not only represent our brand heritage but to also recognise Conrad Hilton, our founder, as one of the great pioneers of the hotel industry."
