Shepheard's Hotel, Luxury hotel building in Garden City, Cairo, Egypt
The Shepheard Hotel stood along the Corniche el Nile, featuring classical European architecture with high ceilings and grand marble staircases throughout its structure.
Established in 1840 as the Hotel des Anglais, the property was renamed Shepheard's Hotel in 1860 after its owner Samuel Shepheard, an English entrepreneur.
The hotel served as British military headquarters in the Middle East during World War I and hosted numerous diplomats, writers, and explorers.
The original structure burned down in 1952 during the Cairo Fire riots, leading to the construction of a new building half a mile away.
The Mandarin Oriental group acquired management of the hotel in 2022 and plans to reopen the property with 188 rooms and 88 suites in 2024.
