After a wonderful cruise on the Nile this was the perfect way to extend our stay in Egypt. Our room looked out across the Nile to the valley of the Kings. Easy walking distance to Luxor Temple. Service and food excellent with a choice of restaurants. Great bistro to enjoy lunch by the pool and wonderful gardens.

Notwithstanding the title of this review, the Winter Palace is a magnificent hotel. The gardens are breathtakingly beautiful and you can only imagine the amount of care and attention that goes into their maintenance. And the ambiance of our room in the old part of the hotel was really special. But, after several nights at the Conrad in Cairo and... More

Magnificent 1886 hotel run by Sofitel. Behind the hotel is an incredibly peaceful garden area leading to a swimming pool where lunch can be obtained. Also there is the "Central Park" dining area for dinner. Very friendly staff. Free internet.

We were not intending to stay here but when the lock workers went on strike in February, A&K moved the guests on their SunBoat 111 from Esna where we were trapped, to the Winter Palace. It is definitely worth staying here for the atmosphere and the history. Having said that you can only hope that she is going to get... More

Pros: 1.)Great Location. Within minutes walk to Temple of Karnak and Temple of Luxor and other museums. Also across the main road to the Nile. 2.)Breakfast buffet was adequate. 3.)Swimming pool was decent (and refreshing) especially after a whole day spent in the dust and sand. 4.)Staff was friendly and polite. Nothing better than to feel welcome away from home.... More
