The Radisson Blu Al Mahary Hotel Tripoli is a modern tourist hotel in Tripoli, Libya, near Grand Hotel Tripoli.
Data & History
[edit]It was built in 1989 and completely remodeled in 2009 to international standards as part of Radisson Hotels.
It is located on the site of the earlier Italian Hotel del Mehari ,[1] built in 1935 at the same time as the nearby Hotel Casinò Uaddan.[2]
Like the Uaddan, it was designed by Italian architect Florestano Di Fausto, with the collaboration of Stefano Gatti-Casazza.[2] According to Brian McLaren in his book Architecture and tourism in Italian colonial Libya, the destroyed Mehari hotel "provided a fusion of the indigenous architecture of Tripoli with a modern aesthetic that responded to the demand for a metropolitan standard of comfort, typical to colonial tourism.[2]
