Legacy Hotels expands pipeline with four new hotel deals at ATM 2026

Legacy Hotels Holding is accelerating its expansion across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), signing agreements for four new properties in the UAE, Egypt and Georgia at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2026.

The deals add approximately 20 hotels and more than 1,200 keys to the group’s development pipeline as it works towards its target of more than 65 hotels by 2027.

A key milestone is the UAE debut of Kyriad Prestige, with the 110-key Kyriad Prestige Downtown Dubai scheduled to open in October 2026. The hotel will combine comfort and refinement with interiors inspired by local culture and heritage.

In Egypt, Legacy Hotels Holding announced the 560-key Kyriad Galala, scheduled to open in Q3 2029. The property will introduce Kyriad’s budget-friendly, midscale hospitality offering to the Egyptian market.

The group has also entered into a Master Franchise Agreement with TemptingPlaces, a hospitality brand known for its French-inspired approach to locally influenced hospitality. Under the agreement, Legacy Hotels Holding will manage and operate the 110-key TemptingPlaces Maison Kokoon in Dubai, scheduled to open by 2030.

The partnership also includes the 109-key TemptingPlaces Panorama Kakheti Resort in Georgia, which is scheduled to open in 2028.

Fahad Abdulrahim Kazim, Co-Founder | Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Hotels Holding, says: “Our ambition to over 65 hotels by 2027 reflects the strength of our growing portfolio and the partnerships driving our expansion across key markets. Arabian Travel Market is an important platform for Legacy Hotels Holding to showcase this growth, foster meaningful relationships with owners and investors, and introduce the next phase of our development across the region.”

The latest agreements build on the group’s growing pipeline in Egypt. Earlier this year, Legacy Hotels Holding announced two upcoming Golden Tulip properties, adding a combined 411 keys. Golden Tulip Cairo Pyramids is scheduled to open in Q4 2027, followed by Golden Tulip Sheikh Zayed City in Q4 2028.

Further openings are planned across Bahrain, Tunisia, Syria, Morocco, Tanzania, La Réunion and other regional markets. These developments will add to the group’s current operating portfolio of 45 properties across MENA, Europe and the CIS region.

With five regional offices and a team of hospitality professionals, Legacy Hotels Holding is continuing to expand its regional presence and expertise.

As the MENA partner of Louvre Hotels Group, the company operates a diversified portfolio spanning luxury to economy hospitality, alongside Earth Hotels and Flamingo Hotels, as it enters its next phase of growth. -TradeArabia News Service
