Indulge yourself in the fine, romantic and luxurious Victorian atmosphere of this prestigious historical hotel that has hosted royalty and celebrities since the XIX century.

The Winter Palace is like a living museum. I recommend to walk around to explore every lounge room, admire the decorative antique pieces, use the ancient elevator, go up the majestical staircase next to the gorgeous and gigantic original chandelier and enjoy the feeling of feeling like a Queen/King for one day!

The gorgeous, historical Winter Palace hotel was built in 1907 as a private residence for his Majesty King Farouk, the King of Egypt at the time. Since then the hotel has been frequented by European Royal families and other personalities including Princess Diana and the famous English egyptologist Howard Carter.

The hotel's excellent location at the heart of Luxor, only a few minutes away from Luxor temple and Karnak temple, will allow you to explore the nearby area easily.

The elegant Winter Palace Hotel is distinguished for its authentic Victorian style that reflects the remarkable character of the 19th century. The building conserves the original structure – the grandiose staircase and most of the furnishings and decorations are originals.

The rooms are very spacious and elegantly decorated with unique art works and antiquities. All rooms at the Winter Palace have high ceilings, large windows and an impeccable and distinguished historical ambiance. Some of the rooms offer Nile Views while others offer peaceful garden views, and interconnecting rooms are available on request. The hotel is surrounded by large and beautifully manicured gardens and it has a large outdoor swimming pool that is heated in winter.

The Winter Palace offers excellent service and five excellent dining options, including the prestigious 1886 where refined French cuisine is served. You will find Italian cuisine and snacks at Palmetto restaurant. If Egyptian food is your choice, then head to El Tarboush located in the gardens. The elegant La Corniche restaurant offers an international menu in an elegant atmosphere, whilst high tea can be taken in the Victoria Lounge.

The lovely Nile Terrace is perfect to drink your cup of tea or enjoy the sun setting on the Nile while sipping your favourite cocktail.
