In the build up to the re-opening of Egypt’s most iconic hotel property under the stewardship of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company later this summer, Radek Cais has been appointed as the General Manager of The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo.

Ibrahim Barghout, Area Vice President of the Middle East and Africa for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company said: “We’re delighted to have Radek at the helm of the opening team of The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo as he embodies the passion, intuitive service and attention to detail that makes us a benchmark in the luxury hospitality segment. With him leading the charge, we are sure the opening of one of the most anticipated hotels in the region will meet and exceed expectations.”

As General Manager, Radek will be overseeing the launch preparations of the hotel in tandem with managing the extensive revamping of the hotel. His extensive experience in launching new hotels and overseeing renovations in markets around the globe, makes him ideal to oversee the transformation of a local landmark. Prior to taking on his new role, Radek was the Hotel Manager of The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal and part of the opening team of the expansive 532-room city resort. Radek’s experience in the hospitality industry in the Middle East extends to over a decade and across Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Bahrain as well as Cairo.

Commenting on his appointment, Radek Cais said: “It is a great honor for me to be part of this project, as opening of The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo will herald new era of luxury hospitality in this historic city. I have been fortunate to have been at the head of opening teams for properties from Abu Dhabi to Stockholm, but the city’s mix of history and modernity as well as the hotel’s lofty pedigree makes this a particularly exciting one for me.”
