Under the shadow of the Great
Pyramid lies Mena House Oberoi, Egypt's most luxurious and
historic hotel. Built originally as a hunting lodge by the King
of Egypt, it was meticulously renovated by The Oberoi Group. The
Hotel combines the best of the old and the new with its
arabesque Islamic design and furnishings and all the modern
comforts and conveniences of a luxury Hotel. Set in 40 acres of
gardens with the pyramids towering above, Mena House Oberoi has
523 rooms and suites in the Palace and Garden wing and cabana
style rooms by the Swimming Pool.
|
Mena House was
originally a royal hunting lodge used by Khedive Ismail, the
King of Egypt, as a guest house for himself and his guests
while on hunting trips in the desert or during visits to the
Pyramids of Giza. With the opening of the Suez Canal, he
enlarged the guest house to receive international royal
guests. Empress Eugenie was one of them as was Albert,
Prince of Wales. However it was so rarely used that he
offered it for sale in 1869. |
|
It was converted
into a hotel by the new owner, Fredrick Head who named it "Mena
House" after the first of the 76 kings on the famous Tablet
of Abydos. Although the fittings, architecture and
decorations remained oriental in style, some English touches
began to appear. At a time when balconies were unknown in
hotels, the new owners decided that every room should have
an open balcony overlooking the Pyramids. |

Mena
House Oberoi has 523 rooms and suites in the Palace and
Garden wing and cabana style rooms by the Swimming Pool.
Original works of art and magnificent antiques housed in
the hotel speak of the care and attention to detail. All

Rooms are elegantly appointed with beautiful arabesque
furniture inlaid with mother of pearl; handcrafted
mosaic tiles and exquisitely carved and brass-bound wood
doors. Every room is a quietly sensuous retreat in which
to work, relax or watch the latest video on the in-house
TV. Room service operates round the clock, and a
personal valet will take care of all your needs. Rooms
are available in the Palace and Garden wings.
