 ~ Le Meridien Luxor Hotel ~ by Heavens-Mirror I stayed at Le Meridien Luxor the very first time i came to Egypt back in 2003. I wasnt sure what to expect of Egypt, its always been a dream to travel here as i was interested in the history of Egypt when i was at school. When we first arrived i was amazed at how stunning this hotel was, it was like a palace inside & the staff were excellent. The bellcaption is so sweet, his name is Mahmoud, we received a warm welcome from him & he even delivered flowers to my room which i thought was nice. He showed us around the hotel & we went to try some Shisha, this was when i became a true "Shisha Queen" as the Egyptians say to me. Hehe. I loved the taste of it, it was really nice. The hotel has recently changed it name to The Nile Palace. I you are planning to go here then either ask for Meridien Luxor or Nile Palace because not all tour operators/travel agents have the new name.
The pool at Le Meridien Luxor is fabulous, you get a great view of the River Nile & the Valley of the Kings at the other side of the Nile. The pool is quite small & it is abit cold but its nice when you've been sunbathing for a while. We paid for a Nile View room & it was well worth the extra cost, the views were unbelievable. I loved it. There is plenty to do at the hotel, shops, bars & there are a couple of restaurants too. The hotel is close to all the major attractions in Luxor too which is good. Id recommend this hotel to anyone, i had a great time & would go back.

I stayed a few times in "le Méridien" (now Steigenberger Nile Palace), the best hotel in Luxor. Friendly staff, excellent buffet, nice and clean rooms. BUT... beware of the shops near the pool area. The hotel has no supervision on these shops. They are too expensive (about 10 times the price you wouild pay in the bazar for the same articles) and the people hassle you to buy (nothing new in Luxor) and they even go as far as to ask you money. Beware especially of a certain "Jasmine" (last shop before the pool). My wife and I went into het shop, looked around and, when we were about to leave, she began to tell us a sad story, telling us she lost her job (that was last year, she's still working there), HAD to get married (still single) and had to move out of her appartment (that I don't know). Finally she asked us to "lend" her ten thousand pound (Egyptian, about 1400 euro). Of course we didn't and we left the shop. I wrote the manager about this incident, he replayed he couldn't do anything about it as the shop was not under the supervision of the hotel. So, BEWARE!!!

 rear of Le Meridien at the pool by kushari Absolute luxury. I didn't have the good fortune to stay here but I couldn't resist having a good look around. This hotel is newly built, no broken air con units or bare carpets. I had a tour of standard room, Nile view and junior suites. They were all of a very high standard with lots of wardrobe and drawer space (top priority for me). The junior suite had a walk-in shower with a 1 inch step - ideal for the elderly or infirm.
The hotel has an inner courtyard with water fountain and some rooms face this. You can log on to the internet at their business centre on the first floor - be aware that you are charged for a full hour. If you are on for 1 hour 10 mins, they charge you for 2 hours and so on.
