EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the elegant Savoy Hotel at Soliman Pasha Square in the heart of Cairo, Egypt. The Savoy Hotel, which operated from November 1898 to 1914, was a beacon of luxury and sophistication during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The grandeur of the hotel is evident in the meticulously manicured gardens and the ornate facade adorned with intricate architectural details. The Savoy Hotel played host to many renowned figures of the time, including Winston Churchill and Cecil Rhodes. During World War I, the hotel served as the headquarters of the British Army, playing a significant role in the military efforts in the region. Sadly, the hotel was demolished in 1924, leaving behind only memories and photographs like this one. The image of the Savoy Hotel at Soliman Pasha Square is a window into the past, offering a glimpse of the opulence and grandeur that once defined Cairo's hospitality scene. The horse-drawn carriages and horses in the foreground add to the nostalgic charm of the scene, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and luxury was a privilege. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Cairo and the role the Savoy Hotel played in shaping the city's past.
