Staff was excellent…food was amazing including the baker

Jeff United States of America

19th century hotel with one of the best inner gardens in Luxor! It’s right next to the Luxor temple and in front of the Nile. Their staff was kind, attentive, and ready to solve any problems. The rooms, halls, and common areas are simply beautiful. We were in awe with their IX century decoration all around where you looked (Sculptures, art pieces, etc.) When we were about to leave, we asked if we could stay a bit more (due to a late flight) and they gave us a courtesy room to wait. It was a fantastic and pleasant experience!

Oscar United States of America

The winter palace is a beautiful hotel with an interesting history. It is centrally located close to downtown and major sights in Luxor. Our room was absolutely beautiful and very very comfortable. Our breakfast each morning was delicious. I cannot say enough about the hotel staff, I’ve never experienced service like this. Our concierge, Mohammed, went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I enjoyed our honeymoon at the hotel, that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I’m looking forward to my return. Thank you!
