WALDORF ASTORIA CAIRO HELIOPOLIS

An international competition for masterplanning the Sheraton Hotel at Cairo Heliopolis took place in 1999. This winning design for a 250 room luxury hotel, built over a 1600 person ballroom was built by 2004. A Phase 2 added another 1200 person ballroom and public areas with a connecting pre-function and further restaurants. This opened as Fairmont but has recently been flagged as Hilton with the luxury wing rebranded to be Africas first Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Tom has been masterplanner, architect, and design manager at the various implementation stages. The Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis opened in August 2023.
