Located in the upscale suburb of Heliopolis, to the northeast of central Cairo, this grand edifice opened its doors in 1910 and quickly became a sought-after destination for travelers from around the world. The hotel's allure drew in foreign royals, international business tycoons, and the elite, who were captivated by its stunning architecture, luxurious amenities, and tranquil gardens. The image showcases the hotel's impressive façade, adorned with intricate detailing and a grandiose entrance, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the era.

This period saw the hotel transformed into a residential complex for the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, and his family. The photograph's serene composition, featuring a lush garden filled with trees, adds to the sense of tranquility and elegance that once defined the Heliopolis Palace Hotel.
