The Cairo Marriott celebrates the New Suez Canal... Where it all began
Built as a Palace to host royalties for the opening of the original Suez Canal
back in 1869, for the Gezira Palace, of what is now the Cairo Marriott Hotel, the
New Suez Canal opening was such a special occasion to celebrate where it all
began. The Palace was built by Khedive Ismail to host Empress Eugenie, wife of
Napoleon III and guest of honor for the original Suez Canal celebrations.
Today, almost 150 years later, the celebrations at the Cairo Marriott were all
inspired by the glory and connection the Palace has with the original canal tale.
To mark this special moment in Egyptian history and in tribute to the Suez Canal,
a series of engaging promotional activities were put together.
Every corner in the hotel, be it outdoor or indoor, was meant to reflect the
historical significance and celebrate the achievement. Driving through Cairo
streets, you would not miss the two banners on the twin towers with both the
New Suez Canal and #Activ8Egypt logos. Each banner 50m x 5m was a token of
celebration to invite guests to step in and join the remaining festivities within the
hotel. #Activ8Egypt is Marriott International initiative launched to emphasize its
commitment to revive tourism in Egypt. What a better occasion to highlight than
Egyptians National pride project of the New Suez Canal opening.
Getting inside of the Palace, guests were greeted by a specially designed
photo booth depicting the old Place and original canal digging and the current
Palace and the New Suez Canal. Guests all stopped by the booth to capture
and document their participation in such a glorious and special occasion. All
was done in a festive atmosphere with national music playing and refreshing
welcome drinks served.
Proud of their heritage and their national project, associates of the Cairo Marriott
were present in their caps with both The New Suez Canal and the Cairo Marriott
logos on it.
To top it all, the Cairo Marriott was honored to host the farewell dinner for the
official international media delegation covering the New Suez Canal opening.
Arriving at the hotel, they were welcomed by Hans Georg Roehrbein, General
Manager, Ghada Abdel Khalek, Director of Marketing Communications and the
hotel Marketing team. They were then escorted on a tour of the Palace where the
tale began. The media representatives expressed their fascination of the Palace
décor and history going around taking pictures and videos. A reception was held
at Salon Royal followed by dinner at Eugenie Salon were the perfect scenario for
a take back in history when the original opening of the canal took place. Starting
with a documentary video on the story of the Palace and the Suez Canal, guests
were dazzled and appreciative of both the venue and the heritage. The culinary
delights presented for dinner and the live tunes of the orchestra were the great
finale to take back home as an unforgettable experience of Egypt and the Cairo
Marriott hotel.
