ACC was commissioned for the restoration, renovation, and expansion of the historic 5-star luxury Mena House Hotel, located below the Pyramid plateau in Giza.
The original hotel contained 100 guest rooms. 400 have been added in a low-lying annex in a garden area. The present hotel complex offers a golf course, restaurant, coffee shop, nightclubs, garden café, pool and reception areas. The restored building has two wings. A three-story wing houses entrance hall, reception area, dining facilities, and entertainment and recreation facilities. A five-storey wing built higher on the sloping site houses the guest bedrooms and service facilities. The sloped site is reflected in the bedroom wing plan. The first floor is small and constricted; the upper floors extend to increased floor space.
The main entrance is located on the east side of the original building. A garden entry court lies in front of the entrance. The square entrance lobby rises to a three-story height and is surmounted by a dome. Overlooking the lobby from the second floor is a wooden mezzanine gallery decorated with elaborately carved wooden arches and balustrades. A marble clad corridor progresses through successive pointed arches to the large restaurant area which is divided by partitions pierced with arches.
ACC was recently awarded a contract to expand the specialist Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357. The planned extension will upgrade the facility so that it continues to offer first-class paediatric cancer care.
Constructed by ACC and opened in 2007, Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357 is one of the largest children’s cancer hospitals in the world, providing world-class care and treatment to infant and junior patients from Egypt and the African continent.
The extension consists of two buildings, an out-patient centre extending over 8500 m² and an administrative smart building of 2,500 m². Both contain three basements, ground floor and 13 subsequent floors. The out-patient centre also includes a bridge link back to the main building.
The five-star Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan is one of Egypt’s most well-known historical hotels.
Situated in a distinct location on the edge of the Nile Valley and the Nubian Desert, the 19th-century hotel is famous for its luxury and for welcoming prominent guests including Kings and Prime Ministers.
ACC were contracted for the refurbishment and complete renovation of the hotel. Due to the historic nature of the property, the project was undertaken very sensitively, and all work was monitored by the Authority of Archaeology.
Now managed by the Sofitel luxury hotel brand and divided into two different yet equally luxurious sections, the hotel provides its guests with varying experiences. The Palace wing, comprised of 76 rooms including 45 suites, preserves the property’s historical charm with Byzantine-style striped arches and other similar, traditional touches. Contemporary and elegantly appointed, The Nile wing’s 62 rooms including 37 suites feature private balconies and guest bathrooms overlooking the Nile River.
A full-service resort, the Old Cataract Aswan features saw ACC craftsmanship refurbish the legendary 1902, a dining room famous for its Qualaun crypt and outstanding décor, resurrecting the mythic luxury of the property while conserving its original beauty by combining Victorian, Middle Eastern and French styles.
