Although it may be a couple years down the line, Hilton Hotels after having lost one of their premier locations on the Nile, have just signed a new management deal with High for Touristic Projects, for a new state of the art hotel located in Heliopolis.

The 485-room and 150-apartment low-rise property located in Cairo's upmarket Heliopolis suburb adjoins an integrated shopping complex and is next to the Cairo International Airport, will be opening in 2014.

We're so happy that it's not going to be some sprawling tower that seems to be the ongoing trend these days!
