Accor, a prominent name in global hospitality, has partnered with Abu Dhabi Tourism Investment Company (ADTIC) to unveil a new luxury property, Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza, near Egypt's iconic Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Scheduled to open in late 2027, this project represents a blend of modern luxury and Egypt's ancient cultural heritage.
Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery, and Emblems, expressed her excitement about the collaboration:
“We are truly excited to bring the Sofitel Legend brand to the iconic landscape of Giza with this exceptional project. Here, luxury and history will converge in an unforgettable way. With Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza, we are creating a flagship destination that honors Egypt’s profound heritage and culture while marking a major milestone for our brand. We deeply appreciate the trust ADTIC has placed in us, and together, we are thrilled to establish a new landmark in Egypt.”
This project marks the eighth property under the exclusive Sofitel Legend brand and the second in Egypt, alongside Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan. Known for their timeless elegance and historical significance, Sofitel Legend hotels cater to travelers seeking luxury and cultural immersion.
The Giza property will include 303 elegantly designed rooms and suites, featuring modern comforts and French-inspired aesthetics. Guests can look forward to world-class amenities such as a spa, fitness center, infinity pools, and dining options that offer stunning views of the Pyramids.
Located just 500 meters from the GEM, the hotel is positioned to attract both domestic and international tourists. The museum, housing the world’s largest collection of Egyptian antiquities, including treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb, is expected to become a major cultural landmark.
Xavier Grange, Chief Development Officer for Sofitel, shared his vision for the brand’s growth:
“We are very proud to enhance our Sofitel Legend portfolio with this magnificent property, our second Sofitel Legend in Egypt. This unique brand, blending French zest with legendary properties and destinations, was reignited just one year ago. With this being the third Sofitel Legend signing this year, we are seeing strong momentum for the brand across all continents, with many more projects to come. Our vision is to expand the Sofitel Legend network from six remarkable hotels open today to a collection of 15 iconic jewels within the next five years, and we are on track to achieve this ambitious objective. We look forward to partnering with ADTIC to serve the ever-evolving global luxury traveler in Egypt.”
ADTIC, established in 1988, has played a significant role in Egypt’s tourism sector by developing landmark properties. This collaboration with Accor is part of their ongoing commitment to enhancing hospitality standards while celebrating the country's heritage.
ADTIC CEO Yahia Kotub emphasized the transformative potential of this partnership:
“Together with Accor, we are crafting a transformative experience at the Sofitel Legend Pyramids giza, where the rich narrative of ancient Egypt meets unparalleled luxury. Our commitment to excellence will not only elevate the standards of hospitality but also celebrate the timeless beauty and heritage of this extraordinary destination.”
The Sofitel Legend Pyramids Giza is set to redefine luxury hospitality in the region. With unmatched views of the Pyramids and proximity to one of the world’s most anticipated cultural attractions, the hotel promises to be an ideal base for cultural exploration and relaxation.

The journey to "I do" is as much about the destination as it is about the moment. And when that destination is the breathtaking Hyatt Regency Dehradun Resort and Spa, it promises to be an experience that transcends time and tradition, an elegant fusion of natural beauty and luxurious hospitality.
Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, Hyatt Regency Dehradun offers a wedding venue like no other. Spanning over 4.25 acres of lush landscape, this unparalleled resort is more than just a location – it’s an immersive journey that beautifully blends the spiritual essence of Uttarakhand with contemporary luxury. Whether it’s a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, this destination offers a canvas for couples to design their dream wedding, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature and the vibrant culture of the region.
A Picture-Perfect Setting
Imagine exchanging vows with the towering Himalayan peaks as silent sentinels, their snow-capped beauty standing witness to your promises of forever. This is not a dream—it’s the essence of a wedding at Hyatt Regency Dehradun Resort and Spa. The resort’s Regency Ballroom, with its expansive 674 square meters of space and 6.1-meter-high ceilings, is the perfect setting for an elaborate celebration, while three intimate studios provide the ideal ambiance for smaller, more personal ceremonies.
Each room at the resort offers a view that tells a story of Uttarakhand’s majestic beauty. From panoramic vistas of lush forests to the awe-inspiring peaks of the Himalayas, guests are welcomed to rooms designed for ultimate comfort and serenity. The resort’s 263 accommodations, including 32 luxurious suites, ensure that every guest is treated to an experience of unparalleled luxury.
A Wedding Beyond Ordinary: The Devbhoomi Concept
What sets Hyatt Regency Dehradun apart from other venues is its "Devbhoomi Weddings" experience – a revolutionary concept that elevates destination weddings to a cultural and spiritual journey. The resort takes couples and their guests on an immersive exploration of Uttarakhand’s rich heritage. From a traditional welcome featuring Ganeshji idols to exclusive helicopter rides to Kedarnath, every element is designed to infuse your celebration with the spirit of the Land of the Gods.
Guests are treated to Pahadi culinary experiences, savoring the authentic flavors of the region. From traditional Dham-style dinners to specially crafted mocktails made from indigenous herbs, every dish tells the story of Uttarakhand’s unique gastronomic heritage. And for those looking for a meaningful ritual, the resort offers a sapling plantation ceremony, symbolizing the love that grows stronger with each passing day.
Crafting Magical Moments with Every Detail
At Hyatt Regency Dehradun, every moment is carefully curated to reflect the couple’s vision and desires. The dedicated team of wedding specialists works closely with couples, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully planned and executed. From customized welcome gifts that tell a personal story to the intimate glow of the Sandhya Aarti ceremony, every aspect of the celebration is infused with thoughtfulness and care.
One of the most unique rituals offered is the planting of a sapling, a final, symbolic gesture of love. As newlyweds lower a sapling into the rich soil of the resort’s Kitchen Garden, they not only symbolize the roots of their union but also contribute to the lush environment that surrounds them—a beautiful metaphor for a love that will continue to grow and thrive.
Culinary Excellence: A Feast for the Senses
