The property will offer 220 deluxe suites and be fully supported with independent restaurants, a club house and fully serviced beach operation and outdoor pool.
The Tiran Island Hotel will be a 600 bedroom four-star international hotel offering a broad selection of luxury hotel rooms, residential suites and self-catering suites ideal for family occupation. This quality four-star operation will offer a wide range of restaurants, entertainment, bars, Spa, outside pools and extensive conference and meeting facilities to suit conference tourism.
Both hotels will be operated by CHI Hotels & Resorts as the Corinthia Beach Resort, with a full range of differently priced products covering room only, bed and breakfast, half board, full board and fully inclusive rates.
The Resort is built within beautiful landscaped gardens and at the same time having an extensive range of food and beverage products. There will be a quality offering of a wide range of entertainment and sporting facilities such as private tennis courts and diving and water sport activities.
The management agreement was signed by Paul Pisani, Vice-President -Development of CHI and H Mansouri, Chairman and CEO of the owning company Cyrene Tourism Investment Corporation of Egypt.
Mr Mansouri, said CHI Hotels’ worldwide experience and excellent reputation as a multi-brand hotel operator had long preceded it in this part of the world, giving the Cyrene Group the necessary confidence to entrust its multi-million dollar project to a very safe pair of hands, with a proven international track record.
CHI already runs top hotels in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Libya, Malta, Portugal and Russia, with others currently under development in Algiers, Bucharest and London.

Actually it is not how much your income per month /year is. It’s what you can buy with what you get. I have just returned from Libya, guess how much I spent of fuel in a period of 13 days? Less than 5 EUROS, I assure you, the car we were using spent about 10-15 hours on roads. With about 25-30 Euros, we (3 people) bought 2 weeks supply of bread vegetables, fruits, milk...etc. ….honestly, I consider to go and live there
Brand Malta was the start of the 5 star campaign but, as usual, some ignorant Maltese could not understand the whole point because 'il-partit tal-le' spoilt the Brand Malta image from day one.
The 5 star tourist was what everyone was asking for, even the MLP mentioned it in their last electoral campaign. So what on earth were you thinking? That the minister was going to stop licensing hotels below 5 star?
And what slump in tourism are you talking about? Earth calling Mars...hello?!? Do you know that last year we reached a new record of tourist arrivals, with this year being similar? Are you ok? Do you watch the news? Or are you so politically blinded that you cant possibly see eye to eye with success we are achieving?
