The old Palace of Mena House has exquisitely crafted interiors
in traditional style with filigree fretwork and intricately
carved panelling, fine murals, gilding, inlaid mother-of-pearl
and handcrafted mosaic tiles. Furnished with original works
of art and antiques, the interior is that of a royal residence
not a hotel.
Outside, the palace blends into its historical setting with
its towers, domes, minarets and colonnades set among palms,
bougainvillea and jasmine - an oasis of luxury in the desert
landscape.
Mena House Oberoi has 523 rooms and suites in the Palace and
Garden wings and Cabana style rooms by the swimming pool.
All 13 Suites, 15 of the Palace Rooms and 145 Garden Rooms
have a view over the Pyramids. All guest accommodation at Mena
House Oberoi is air conditioned with private bathroom. Rooms
and Suites are lavishly appointed with traditionally inspired
furnishings and rich carpets.

private terrace overlooking the Pyramids. All Suites in the
