one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Choose the Marriott Mena House for your visit to Egypt and you’ll find yourself within 700 metres of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Originally built as a royal hunting lodge by an 19th century Egyptian ruler, Mena House has played host to kings, celebrities and heads of state – a trend that has continued even after being converted into a hotel. Away from the bustle of downtown Cairo, Mena House has an incredible location in the shadow of the Great Pyramid, which means you won’t have such an early start when you go to explore. You’ll find yourself within easy reach of the Sphinx, Cairo University and the Egyptian Museum.
Rooms are housed both in the older, belle époque style Palace Wing and the more contemporary Mena Garden wing. Lavishly appointed with traditionally inspired furnishings, each enjoys views over the pyramids or gardens. If you’re ever in need of deeper relaxation, you can always schedule an appointment at the Saray Spa which pampers visitors with a range of rejuvenating treatments. When it comes to dining, the hotel has five restaurants and two bars where you can sample traditional Arabic cuisine as well as Indian and Italian fare.
