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

My wife and I were wrapping up our visit to Egypt and thought we'd treat ourselves to what we hoped to be a nice, formal dinner with wine. When we arrived, we were told we needed to pay 50 Egyptian pounds EACH just to enter the lobby, with the 'benefit' of being able to apply that fee towards dinner if... More

We stayed at the Pavillion Winter, which is in the Winter Palace Complex between the 10th and 22nd of April 2013. Yet again, the weather was wonderful and the service in the hotel was exceptional. They are even putting in ramps around the pool for disabled guests. The problem in the area is that there are not enough tourists. I... More

Elegance, class, sophistication were in every corner of this beautiful colonial hotel. The facade of the hotel weas very imposing and the main lobby interior was really great. I felt the ambiance of classical extravagance as I entered the main lobby. The garden was magnificent. I never thought that I will be able to find this kind of garden in... More

This 100 year-old hotel is nothing but class and style and beauty. We stayed in the pavilion/ modern wing, which is a bit cheaper than the original building but you still have full access to the entire facility and the rooms in the old building have been modernized anyway. The room was immaculate and the staff were very friendly and... More
