About Project
GSOOR undertook a comprehensive renovation of the Hilton Luxor resort in Aswan, Egypt. This ambitious project, with a budget of 12 million EGP, revitalized the hotel’s aesthetics and functionality. GSOOR’s scope of work included significant upgrades to the facades, the installation of new marble flooring, the implementation of modern false ceilings, and the provision of all contract furniture. This extensive renovation breathed new life into the Hilton Luxor, enhancing its appeal to discerning travelers.
Our Client’s Challenge
The Hilton Luxor renovation presented several key challenges:
- Maintaining Operations: The hotel needed to remain operational throughout the renovation process, minimizing disruption to guests and ensuring a seamless experience.
- Logistical Complexity: Coordinating the delivery of materials and managing the construction process in a remote location like Aswan posed logistical difficulties.
- Meeting Brand Standards: The renovation had to adhere to Hilton’s stringent brand standards while also incorporating local design elements and reflecting the unique character of the Luxor region.
- Budget Constraints: Managing the project within the allocated budget of 12 million EGP required careful planning and cost control measures.
- Tight Timeline: Completing the renovation within a reasonable timeframe was crucial to minimize revenue loss and allow the hotel to quickly capitalize on its upgraded facilities.
Our Approach And Solution
GSOOR addressed these challenges with a meticulous and strategic approach:
- Phased Renovation: To minimize guest disruption, the renovation was executed in phases, focusing on specific areas of the hotel at a time. This allowed the hotel to continue operating while construction was underway.
- Detailed Logistics Planning: GSOOR developed a comprehensive logistics plan to ensure the timely delivery of materials to the Aswan site. This involved careful coordination with suppliers and transportation providers.
- Collaborative Design Process: GSOOR worked closely with Hilton to ensure the renovation met their brand standards while also incorporating local design influences. This collaborative approach resulted in a design that was both elegant and culturally sensitive.
- Value Engineering: GSOOR implemented value engineering principles to optimize costs without compromising quality. This involved exploring alternative materials and construction methods to stay within budget.
- Dedicated Project Management: A dedicated project management team was assigned to the Hilton Luxor renovation to oversee all aspects of the project, from planning and design to construction and finishing. This ensured efficient execution and adherence to the project timeline.
