During World War II US President Franklin Roosevelt, Chinese General Chiang Kai-shek and Brit Prime Minister Winston Churchill met at Mena House for what became known as the Cairo Conference. Apparently Churchill was so fond of the view from suite 623 he slept with the curtains open so he could see the pyramids of Giza, which are close to the hotel. There is also a Montgomery Suite (706) if you are more into the idea of being in the front line rather than saving the world by negotiation.
