THE Sonesta Kiroseiz Beach Resort Dahab in Egypt is the Sonesta International Hotels Corporation’s latest addition to the family.
The 450-room resort, now under development, will open in 2012 under a new management agreement between Sonesta International Hotels and Kiroseiz Hotels Establishment.
The resort will be located on the Sinai Peninsula on the Red Sea, just 50 miles north of Sharm-El-Sheikh. Dahab is renowned for its spectacular diving off the Red Sea coral reefs and for ideal conditions for windsurfing. Resort amenities will include three restaurants, a cocktail lounge, lobby café, shopping arcade, several swimming pools and a children’s pool, floating sea pool, health club/spa, tennis courts, dive and windsurfing centre and water park. The resort will also offer convention space for groups of up to 350 guests.
Sonesta has been operating deluxe hotels in the Middle East since 1982, primarily in Egypt, and continues to explore additional management opportunities in the region. The Sonesta Kiroseiz Beach Resort will be the seventh Sonesta hotel in Egypt and will bring the total (including the ships on the Nile) to 13 managed properties in the country.
