What an amazing place. Entering, you leave the panhandlers and the touts of Luxor behind and enter an older period of European history. The bar is beautiful and well stocked, the restaurants are not expensive and the food is good. This place will set you right and make you feel at ease, I highly recommend it.

I spent only a few days in this wonderful hotel! The staff was so very kind and helpful. Upon my arrival they greeted me with a lovely tea and upgraded my room to the Royal Suite! It was magnificent! The suite was so comfortable and lovely. The hotel was amazing! The gardens were lovely and peaceful, the swimming pool huge!... More

I returned to the Winter Palace in Luxor for the first time in thirty years (having lived in Egypt for 4 years in the late 1970s, when the hotel was suffering from socialist state manegement and tremendously over-priced). It was now been restored to its former glory and is run very effectively by the Sofitel chain. Its best feature (other... More

Yes it is an old hotel but it still retains all its charm. Once you are inside you definitely step back in time. Original period furniture and orientalist paintings are a wonderful touch to the interior. Our room was large and comfortable and the buffet at breakfast was divine. Very good value for money. Big pool and wonderful garden, but... More

We have just returned from our fourth visit to this most magical of hotels on the banks of the River Nile. We stayed in the Old Wing (which we always do) and enjoyed the character of its glorious past, with wide corridors leading to the flowing staircase down to the lobby, the Library Bar is quite unique and the piano...

There is so much more that could be done with this property, but that is probably not going to happen until tourism returns to Luxor. The front desk staff, pool, and bar are the best assets in this property. The rest is forgettable as the property needs a genuine makeover (yes, the age and history is interesting) and the service...

We just returned from vacation and a wonderful week, in Winter Palace Luxor. Located on the banks of Nile river and next to Luxor temple, Winter Palace is truly one of the most charming and original hotels and buildings that we have ever been to. Almost all rooms and facility have very much kept its original glamour and glory; the... More

My friend and I stayed at the Winter Pavilion last week. It was very good and the staff could not do enough for us. The problem is that we had to have our meals at the Winter Palace. Service at breakfast poor - no teaspoons or eggcups and my friend's teacup was filthy! We ate at 1886, supposedly a formal... More
