El-Salamlek Palace was built in 1892 by HH Khedive Abbas Helmi II as a hunting lodge for his Austro-Hungarian mistress Countess May-Torok von Szendro (later wife under the name Gawidan Hanem Abdallah). The Palace was built by the Greek architect Dimitri Fabricious Pasha (Chief architect of the Khedive).
The Palace is situated on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea at Montazah Bay. Nine years were spent renovating and decorating the palace to recreate the luxury and glamour of the Royal Era of Egypt in a 5 star hotel.
