Mena House Oberoi, Cairo
Mena
House Oberoi lies in the shadow of one of the wonders of the
world, the Great Pyramids at Giza. Surrounded by 40 acres
of scented gardens, this historic palace hotel is only 700
meters from the towering Pyramid of Cheops. The hotel was
built in 1869 and since that time has been welcoming visitors
to Cairo, drawn here by the rich heritage of mosques, churches
and temples. Modern Cairo is an exciting and vibrant place,
bustling alongside its priceless heritage of art and architecture.
The old Palace of Mena House has exquisitely crafted
interiors in traditional style with filigree fretwork and
intricately carved panelling, fine murals, gilding, inlaid
mother-of-pearl and handcrafted mosaic tiles. Furnished with
original works of art and antiques, the interior is that of
a royal residence not a hotel. Outside, the palace blends
into its historical setting with its towers, domes, minarets
and colonnades set among palms, bougainvillea and jasmine
- an oasis of luxury in the desert landscape.
The 365 guest rooms, including 77 suites, are generously sized and reflect the vibrancy of contemporary Cairo, with bright interiors, natural wood finishes and chic, comfortable furnishings. All guest quarters offer panoramic views, whether across the Nile to the island of Zamalek and beyond, or towards the 12th-century Citadel. Triple-glazed windows ensure that interiors remain cool and quiet. Well-defined work areas allow guests to remain productive. Up-to-the-minute technology for communication and entertainment includes high-speed Internet wired and wireless access throughout. The spacious marble bathrooms incorporate Four Seasons signature features: deep soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, large double vanity and, in a separate alcove, WC with telephone.
