Think of Cairo and your first visuals will likely be the surreal silhouettes of the Pyramids of Giza. Luckily for those staying at the Marriot Mena, these magnificent symbols of Ancient Egypt are quite literally in the backyard. Sitting in immaculate gardens, the hotel is stylish yet historic, its star-studded lineage evident in the antiques and artworks sprinkled throughout. By day, you'll have much exploring to do, learning the art of haggling at the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, marvelling at soaring minarets and fascinating museums, and horseback rides in front of the Sphinx. By sunset, you'll be sat with a cocktail as the pyramids are illumiated by a 1000 lights... What a sight.
The rooms are clean-cut and demure, decorated with dark wood furnishings, patterned rugs, and black-and-white photos from across the years. Each has a private balcony with a garden or the coveted view of the Pyramids, while the Grand Deluxe rooms feature ornate chests and furnishings as well as a dining area. The marble bathrooms boast large tubs and Acca Kappa amenities. The suites are especially spacious and come with a separate lounge and two balconies. Certain rooms also have access to the 'Executive Lounge', which provides grab&go snacks for your adventures, as well as treats for afternoon tea.
It's no exaggeration when we say you can walk to the Pyramids from the hotel!
There are specific accessibility-focused rooms, which sit on the ground floor and are equipped with the necessary facilities.
The Marriott Mena is a popular choice for weddings, which can increase the noise factor.
