Iconia Zamalek / The Residence
About Iconia Zamalek
Welcome. We're so happy you've crossed our path — here's the building, the brand and the people behind it.
The sweet spot
Between a hotel and a home
Iconia Zamalek Residences is redefining serviced apartment living in Cairo. Positioned at the sweet spot between a hotel and a serviced apartment, we blend the comfort of home with the service and style of a boutique hotel, transforming iconic spaces into wellness-focused, design-driven stays.
Whether you're here for a few nights, a week, or longer, Iconia Zamalek Residences offers a consistent brand experience without sacrificing individuality. Each suite is architecturally unique and culturally rooted, with wellbeing at the core of everything we do. This is more than a place to sleep. It's a better way to stay.
Since 2018
The history of Iconia Zamalek
ICONIA began in 2018 with a simple yet ambitious vision: to breathe new life into one of Zamalek's most iconic buildings. What was once the AUC dormitory was reimagined as Egypt's first-of-its-kind mixed-use development, a vibrant space blending residences, offices, and retail under one roof.
After 18 months of transformation, ICONIA opened its doors in June 2019, welcoming Egypt's leading firms and long-stay guests seeking comfort, design, and community in the heart of Zamalek.
Today, as we look toward the future, ICONIA is evolving once again, giving rise to Iconia Zamalek Residences managed by SuiteSpot Hospitality — a hospitality brand redefining modern living. Rooted in design, wellness, and local culture, we continue ICONIA's journey of turning exceptional spaces into meaningful experiences.
