ACC awarded US$ 90 million contract

Company will renovate Nile Ritz Carlton in downtown Cairo

Arabian Construction Co (ACC) has announced being awarded a US$ 90 million contract to covert the historic Nile Hilton into The Nile Ritz-Carlton hotel. The renovation project includes interior finishing and MEP work scheduled to be completed in 18 months.

According to ACC, it will be responsible for the interior cladding and finishing of all facilities, rooms and the hotel casino. US-based Hill International is the project manager.

Built in 1959, the 370-room property located along the shores of the Nile and surrounded by downtown Cairo is reportedly undergoing extensive renovation of its facilities in order to re-emerge as a full-fledged Ritz-Carlton. The project will include modernising the 13-storey hotel owned by Misr Hotels, a subsidiary of The Holding Company for Tourism, Hotels and Cinema that spans 64,000 square metres, the announcement added.
