Hıdiv Pavilion was built in 1907. The Hıdiv Pavilion was built by Abbas Hilmi Pasha, the Egyptian Khedive of the period, and its architect was Italian Delfo Seminati, one of the famous architects of the period. The Art Nouveau building has the distinction of having the first elevator powered by steam.
