Acropole Hotel
Khartoum, Sudan · built 1955
The Acropole is the oldest hotel in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, since it was still established during the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium. After Sudanese independence in 1956 the Greek-owned hotel weathered several regime changes and developed into a popular entry point and base for visiting journalists, humanitarians, diplomats, archaeologists and other researchers as well as overland travellers. The family-run business was in service without interruption until it was forced by the Sudanese civil war (2023-present) to close its doors.
