SURROUNDED by thousands of years of history, rich culture and an amazing diversity of landscapes and natural beauty, Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo Hotel is a truly remarkable location for meetings, conventions and incentives.
The first Dusit hotel in Egypt, Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo opened earlier this year and has recently completed the launch of its second accommodation phase with an additional 245 rooms bringing the total capacity to 449 rooms, suites and apartments.
The property also includes the celebrated Ruen Thai Restaurant, Café des Artistes and Blue Rose Bar and provides meeting planners with unsurpassed style, innovation and elegance, living up to the reputation that has made Dusit a top choice world-wide.
The hotel is already proving popular with leisure visitors but its main market is the business traveller.
Cairo is only a mid-range flight – three to four hours – away from all major European cities and has year-round sunshine and the hotel is just 20 minutes from Cairo International Airport, on a stunning escarpment overlooking the New Cairo.
The fantastic array of exquisite restaurants and sophisticated conference and leisure facilities combined with the latest digital technology and large, varied meeting spaces, promise to make this destination a favourite location for professional incentive and conference organisers.
Decorated in rich, chocolate-coloured wood with hued fabric panels, the LakeView Ballroom features fibre-optic lighting which can easily be manipulated to create added drama. Each section of the venue may be lit separately via an ingenious light-control panel, which allows for a wide variety of different moods. The ballroom measures 1,536 sq m with a capacity for 1,500 guests for a cocktail party. Divisible into three soundproof sections, the venue is fitted with cutting-edge audio-visual equipment, sky-hooks and a built-in stage.
A 120-sq-m foyer links the ballroom to an open-air interior courtyard replete with a lake and landscaped greenery. This area is perfect for coffee and tea breaks, cocktails and exhibitions.
Dusit’s self-contained conference centre makes the best use of space, dimension and light and also features a stately boardroom and a total of nine meeting rooms are available, making the centre highly flexible for a variety of options.
All rooms are networked with high-speed data communication links and are equipped with state-of-the-art sound systems. LCD screens, data projectors and handheld and radio microphones are supported by a team of AV technicians, available around the clock.
Staying at Dusit Thani Lakeview Cairo, there is a multitude of choices when looking to spice up the programme of meetings, conferences and incentive trips as delegates and accompanying partners can equally benefit from the many activities at hand such as tours of the surrounding historic city or the nearby golf course.
And Dusit highly-trained and motivated staff are experts in making sure meetings go to plan.
