I love the historical ambience offered here and took the chance to view the rooms once occupied by Howard Carter, Lord Carnarven and the royal suite of King Farouk. I hope one day to stay in one of these very special rooms.

Deborah, United Kingdom

Great Hotel, very professional staff at reception. This property was a winter palace turned into hotel. They upgraded us to King Faroukh room with original furniture. Even though it is a little old/dated, very clean and was so exciting to sleep in the beautiful room that King used to sleep in. Lovely pool & garden. Great location.

Shirin, United States of America

Friendly staff, unbelievably efficient! I felt like Cleopatra in this hotel! One of the best levels of service I have seen in my life. The facilities were very comfortable, clean, pretty, very well taken care of. Food was good, lots of options for breakfast. The garden and the pool were amazing too!

Roberta, Canada

Garden and poolside area were very pleasant and quiet for a relaxing time.

David, United Kingdom

Luxurious old world style. Staff very professional and friendly. Premium products in the bathroom.

Hossam, Canada

The Winter Palace is an historical building beautifully outfitted. Comfortable, grand and interesting. The gardens are a pleasure in a country that has few green spaces. The staff were helpful, happy and good at their work. A relaxing place after the heat and the Temple and Tomb highlights of Egypt. Thank you to all the staff at the Winter Palace Hotel.

The room was huge with a good balcony facing the garden. The feel of the hotel is like an old world charm. Even the bellboys and the housekeeping were always there for you to ask for anything that you might need.

눉The pool closes sharp at sunset. After all day of sightseeing in Luxor in 47 degree heat up to 5 pm, would have been nice to be able to enjoy the pool and relax in the area a little longer. For a 5 star hotel, they need to introduce more wine selection ( from local egyptian wineries) to the dinner menu.
눇Great Hotel, very professional staff at reception. This property was a winter palace turned into hotel. They upgraded us to King Faroukh room with original furniture. Even though it is a little old/dated, very clean and was so exciting to sleep in the beautiful room that King used to sleep in. Lovely pool & garden. Great location.

눉The shower could have been better.
눇I have a property in El-Boghdady and have visited the pool restaurant and Piano Bar on numerous occasions, however this is the first time I have stayed at the Winter Palace. After a very busy three weeks of moving properties, I fancied some chill out time relaxing after my husband returned to England as I am staying on for another two weeks. The relaxation I certainly achieved and thoroughly enjoyed. The things I particularly enjoyed were the fantast breakfast, my lovely room and the attentiveness and politeness of the staff who were also friendly. I have a friend visiting from England next week and so I shall be paying you another visit! I have also instructed my husband that we will be spending Christmas at the Winter Palace! I will be back in early November and saying until mid January, so that will be a nice break in between. Only one small downside: the shower was not as good as mine at home. But back on the upside again, I was able to check out five hours after I should have done for which I am extremely grateful. Thanks you all for a fantastic stay!!!

눉The only thing that could have used improvement was the shower situation. The shower head wasn't great and I never could seem to get the temperature I wanted. I don't mean for this to be a complaint because everything really was great.
눇Elegant property with world class service. I loved walking around the gardens at night. Special recognition goes to head concierge Mohamed Ali for exceeding expectations to get some items back to me that I left in the room.

눇I have now stayed at the Sofitel winter palace for over 8 nights in the last months. It is by far one of the greatest hotels I have ever stayed at. The thing that makes this hotel so special are the staff - Everyone is incredibly friendly & professional. From the porters, front desk, security, cleaning and to lounge staff - they all work together to make this one of the greatest accommodation experiences you can hav Anytime I have had a problem or question - it has been fixed immediately. It is always with great excitement that I come back to visit this hotel as I now feel like it is a second home, an the staff as my second family.The corporation should take great pride in this property and its staff- and other hotels can learn a lot of lessons from this great hotel. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this great hotel! It is also very well situated in a fantastic location. The food is always incredible, and the rooms are clean and in perfect order. In days I can not think of a single fault - truly incredible.
