3 nights at the Mena House Oberoi, Cairo 
Hotel Description
Mena House Oberoi is located under the shadow of the pyramids and is one of Egypt's most luxurious and historic hotels. Built originally as a hunting lodge by the King of Egypt, it was meticulously renovated by The Oberoi Group. The Hotel combines the best of the old and the new with its arabesque Islamic design and furnishings and all the modern comforts and conveniences of a luxury Hotel. Set in 40 acres of gardens with the pyramids towering above, Mena House Oberoi has 523 rooms and suites in the Palace and Garden wing and cabana style rooms by the Swimming Pool. It has a superb selection of restaurants with cuisine from around the world and the oldest Golf Course in Africa situated next to the hotel.
In our opinion: the highest standard of accommodation that we offer in the pyramids area of Cairo, as well as the closest to this great wonder of the world. The hotel is very grand and will be amazing once all of the renovations have been completed.
Please note: A major $100 million renovation programme is taking place at Mena House Oberoi.
Renovation of all the rooms (328 rooms including 3 suites) in the Garden Wing is complete. Guests have enjoyed the new product and commented positively on the clean design and user friendly facilities and service.
The new outdoor heated swimming pool (heated in winter) is now open from 0800 until sunset. A pool side bar caters to the beverage needs of guests. Lunch is served at Cesare terrace. The Italian restaurant will soon be open for dinner with a menu offering traditional Italian food served in a contemporary environment.
The spa and fitness centre are currently out of operation. These facilities are expected to reopen in July 2010. A temporary fitness centre is available to guests – on request. This is located on the 9th floor of the Palace. Two temporary massage rooms have also been created on the 9th floor and are available on a request basis.
Regarding the new All Day Dining restaurant, this is expected to be ready by September 2010 with magnificent views of the Pyramids of Cheops and Chephren.
The Palace wing at Mena House Oberoi, which was expected to shut from 1 June 2010 will continue to welcome guests. The new date for closure is June 2011. The reason for this delay is that the designs for restoration are taking longer than expected to finalise. As you would imagine, the Palace is a national treasure and the hotel must ensure that any design change adds to the final product and does not detract from the history.
The golf course at Mena House Oberoi is closed for renovation and is expected to reopen in January 2011.
The entire renovation schedule and work timings have been structured to ensure minimal impact on the guest's experience. Renovation work commences at 0900 and ends at 1900. With all the construction activities limited to the Garden and an extension wing, guests in the Palace will not be affected by the ongoing work (Update 20 July 2010).
