CHICAGO (October 7, 2019) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with ALDAU Development group for a Hyatt-branded hotel in Cairo.

“We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Hyatt brand to Cairo and are focused on the increased tourism figures and continued development in and around the capital city,” said Ludwig Bouldoukian, regional vice president of development, Middle East and North Africa for Hyatt. “Hyatt Regency Cairo West will be a great addition to our growing portfolio in North Africa as we anticipate the hotel will become a destination where both business and leisure travelers can stay connected and energized throughout their stay.”
Created for a seamless and personalized guest experience, Hyatt Regency Cairo West will feature 242 contemporary guestrooms and suites, inspired by Egyptian culture; with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Pyramids of Giza or the hotel’s pool and lush gardens. Room amenities offered will include the latest technology such as smart mirrors and sensor LED lighting control, as well as in-room massage and beauty facilities in a number of the suites.
The hotel will have additional features including four distinct restaurants, bar and lounges, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an outdoor heated swimming pool and casino adjacent to the building.
Set to become a go-to gathering place for meetings, elaborate social events and weddings, the hotel will feature six meeting rooms, a Grand Ballroom providing 4,628 square feet (430 square meters) of banquet space accommodating up to 500 guests, outdoor function areas, and the latest 360-degree digital projector technology.

Regency Club Lounge?
Anyone been yet / anyone have any insight into the presence/running of a lounge? The press release quoted by khabah above mentions an RC lounge, and the suites descriptions on the website talk about 'club benefits' but there are no RC rooms available....

This hotel seems to have marked every single suite as a "Premium Suite". Isnt this against the Hyatt terms?

I did book and there were no standard suite options. Tried to apply a TSU and was told hotel has no standard suites. Which suite do you see as a standard suite? Trying to raise the issue with my concierge now.

We are probably going to use this hotel for a trip next spring for a couple of nights, the challenge is that none of the rooms or suites will hold 2 adults and 2 children according to the online reservation system, not even a 'Family Suite'. I emailed them and didn't get a clear answer to the question I asked and gave up for a bit in frustration but need to get back to that at some point.
For our dates next spring it shows the Regency Suite and Regency Executive Suite as Standard Suites (available as a points suite upgrade from a cash rate or cash + points options, but not points only options) and the Family Suite as a Premium Suite (again, as a points suite upgrade from a cash rate or cash + points options, but not points only option).
I don't suppose you recall if it had a connecting door to another room?
One important aspect of various suites and rooms is the view, it's not a tall hotel and not adjacent to the Pyramids, so I don't suspect the Pyramid views are great (compared to say the Mena House), but still would be nice, the website room descriptions say Regency Suites have a Pyramid view, while Regency Executive Suites may have a Pyramid or Garden view and Family Suites have a City view.
