Luxor, Egypt

Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor

Riverside Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating 4.6
Outstanding 4.6
From AU$146 Per Person Per Night

Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor, built in 1886 on the Nile's banks in a tropical garden, blends Victorian heritage with Egyptian warmth, offering a serene retreat where the river's tranquil flow and historic charm, famously featured as Hercule Poirot's stay in Agatha Christie's 'Death on the Nile', resonate with timeless allure.

The 92 rooms and suites feature air-conditioned spaces, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and private bathrooms with premium toiletries. Many rooms open to lush garden or Nile views, creating a restful sanctuary for couples or travellers. A stunning pool, surrounded by palm trees, and free Wi-Fi ensure seamless relaxation and connectivity.

Three dining venues offer diverse flavours. The 1886 Restaurant serves French-inspired cuisine, while El Tarboush crafts Egyptian dishes, with breakfasts featuring fresh fruits. Bars like the Victorian Lounge provide cocktails and light bites, accompanied by soft oud melodies, fostering a warm, inviting ambiance on the historic terrace where Howard Carter announced Tutankhamun's tomb discovery.

A spa offers soothing massages and treatments, while a fitness area supports active routines. A concierge arranges visits to nearby Luxor Temple or Karnak Temple, weaving in the region's vibrant cultural heritage.

Situated minutes from Luxor Temple and 7 km from Luxor International Airport, Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor offers free parking and easy access to Egypt's cultural treasures. This retreat blends modern comfort with the storied rhythm of the Nile Valley's heart.
