Marriott Mena House

Cairo

Nestled directly beneath the majestic Great Pyramid, Marriott Mena House began as a hunting lodge built by Khedive Ismail, a 19th-century Egyptian ruler. It quickly became a retreat for international royalty and high society – a legacy that continued after its transformation into a hotel. Notably, Churchill and Roosevelt convened here to plan the D-Day invasion, and suites named in their honour commemorate this historic event. The hotel features spacious and intimate rooms where guests can enjoy a private breakfast or dine at 139 Pavilion, an outdoor restaurant offering stunning views of the Giza Pyramid. For those seeking variety, the hotel serves international cuisine and includes Alfredo, a restaurant specialising in Italian dishes. Additional amenities include beautiful gardens and a pool area, creating a peaceful space for large groups and family gatherings.
