Built between 1979 and 1982, it is on land that is just over 100 metres from the southern border between Egypt and Israel.
Due to a disagreement on the correct location of the boundary markers, it was the stumbling block in negotiations between Israel and Egypt over the final border between the two countries. After months of negotiation and a decision by an international arbitration to grant Egypt the tiny strip of land, the hotel was finally sold to Egypt for $35 million. The hotel was part of the Hilton brand for nearly 30 years from 1990 until 2017, when it was bought by Deutsche Hospitality.
