In summer 2004 Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts announced the take over of a resort on the Elephantine Island near Aswan. The extensive renovation and extension work is just about to be completed. The 5-star hotel, which now goes by the name of Mövenpick Resort Aswan, delights with its contemporary design punctuated with Nubian style elements.
“The newly renovated Mövenpick Resort Aswan reflects the high quality standards with which we intend to spoil our guests here in Egypt,” says Josef Kufer, Senior Vice President Africa Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. “With its fantastic location the resort is ideally suited to be combined with Nile cruises or a visit to the many sites in and around Aswan.”
All the hotel’s areas are characterised by warm, bright colour tones, spacious interiors, a contemporary and locally influenced design combined with Nubian style elements. It is not just the rooms which have been extensively renovated or redesigned, but also all the public areas and the gardens, with the creation of a new Kids’ Club and a large infinity pool.
With the work completed, the Mövenpick Resort Aswan now offers 234 spacious and comfortable rooms, including 38 duplex junior suites and 8 double villas. Culinary treats await the guests at the main restaurant “Orangerie” and in the Italian speciality restaurant “La Perla”. The Panorama Bar on the 14th floor of the Aswan Tower offers breathtaking views of the Nile and its fascinating surroundings and is certain to prove particularly popular. The culinary choice is rounded off by a poolside restaurant and bar as well as a lobby lounge. Besides the vast choice of excursion opportunities (including sailing trips on-board typical feluccas), other leisure activities include billiards, table tennis and massages. A meeting room for a maximum of 120 delegates is available for conferences and banquets.
“The gardens and the different terraces are ideal for celebrating all kinds of occasions outdoors,” says Urs Umbricht, General Manager Mövenpick Resort Aswan. “The wonderful views of the Nile, Aswan, the Botanical Gardens on Kitchner Island, the West Bank and the Aga Khan Mausoleum are certain to make any event an unforgettable experience.”
“We will shortly be starting a new expansion project that includes 160 additional rooms, restaurants and bars as well as a new conference centre,” adds Josef Kufer. “This project, which is due to be completed by 2010 to the north of the existing hotel premises, will not affect our guests in any way.”
