Marriot Mena House

With one of the most privileged locations in Egypt, Mena House sits right at the foot of the Great Pyramids of Giza; a position no other Cairo hotel can rival. Now managed by Marriott, this historic property combines a real sense of heritage with modern comforts, making it a standout choice for a stay in Cairo.

Originally built as a royal hunting lodge in the late 19th century, Mena House has welcomed generations of royalty, statesmen and travellers through its doors over the years. That history is still very much part of the experience today. The Garden Wing, where you're most likely to stay, offers a more contemporary feel while still making the most of those unforgettable pyramid views.

Throughout the hotel, there are countless vantage points looking directly onto the pyramids, whether that's from the beautifully manicured gardens or whilst dining on the terrace. Facilities include a large outdoor swimming pool, a luxurious spa, and a choice of restaurants, including the long-standing Moghul Room serving classic Indian cuisine. There’s also a golf course on site – a genuinely rare opportunity to tee off with views of one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.

Mena House remains one of Cairo’s most atmospheric hotels, combining location, history and comfort in a way few places can match.
