    • The Old Winter Palace - Luxor
    The Old Winter Palace
    by Angelal
    The Old Winter Palace is the oldest address in Luxor. It was built in 1886 to attract Europe's nobility and perhaps that is the reason for the Hotels name as many used to spend the Winter time in Egypt to enjoy the fabulous weather.

    Howard Carter often stayed in the hotel despite having his own home on the West Bank. Apparently the guests of this hotel were the first to hear of the finding of Tut's treasures as it was posted on the hotels bulletin board.

    I have never had the pleasure of staying in this hotel but have walked through its vast garden, lunched and used the swimming pool. One thing that struck me about the gardens of the Winter Palace was the beauty and the huge Palm trees.

    I would definitely recommend the Winter Palace for Afternoon Tea on the Terrace. Here you will be served a proper English tea of sandwiches (cut in to triangles), tea and cake. You can enjoy the sites below of the carriage drivers carrying their passengers down the Corniche, the fantastic view of the Theban mountain over on the West Bank and if you stay long enough the site of the sun setting over the Nile.

    The history, the views and the prestige.

    • Stayed here in the Old Wing back in 1997. This was the first pricey hotel in which I've had the pleasure to stay and a pleasure it was. The only cause for complain was the undesired attention from one of the waiters but I found the other staff members to be great. One chap organised a horse ride for me through the Valley of the Queens at sunset which was absolutley fab, but I couldn't walk for the next two days.
    Large swimming pool with swim up bar. Tennis courts.

    Reading old leather books in the piano bar; get lulled to sleep by the croaking on the bull frogs in the gardens.

    This hotel consist of 3 sections : Old Winter, New WInter & the Pavillon section. I stayed at the Pavillon Section. We got the view over the big court yard and a swimming pool on the side of the court. The services are good and the hotel breakfast is great. Rooms are spacious & clean.

    Old Winter Palace Hotel
    by Tijavi
    OK, I couldn't possibly afford to stay here, but this hotel is worth featuring for its historical signficance. Completed in 1886 on the east bank of the Nile amidst lovingly-landscaped gardens, the Winter Palace Hotel exudes a romantic Victorian aura that has captivated celebrities and royalty alike. It is told that the hotel's first new year's eve party, a masked costume ball, was attended by crown princes and princesses from Europe and Far East.

    The hotel's august guest list includes:
    ing Farouk and King Fouad of Egypt, the Agha Khan, Empress Eugenie of France, the Tsar and Tsarina of Russia, King Juan Carlos of Spain and Prince Charles. Sir Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Montgomery, President Giscard d'Estaing, President Gamal Abd el Nasser, President Anwar El Sadat and President Hosny Moubarak. President Jimmy Carter and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Margaret Tatcher and Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Agatha Christie and archeologist Howard Carter (of Tatankhamun's tomb fame), veteran Egyptian actor Omar El Sherif, etc.

    The hotel is now ran by the Sofitel hotel group. There is a new wing, flatly called New Winter Palace Hotel, that does not even possess an ounce of the old wing's grandeur (and history, needless to say).

    So if you have a fat bank account and want to be pampered like royalty, this is the hotel for you. Just be kind enough to share your experience with us.

    • I really enjoyed my stay in that old winter palace. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think, that you can't feel real the spirit of those old times, when the researchers started coming to explore Luxor and surrounding, if you go to some new hotel. My opinion is, that you can find new hotels anywhere in the world, but something like this is unique. And here, you have to respect some rules of how to be dressed in the restaurants, bar...You can also enjoy in a beautiful view over the Nile in the early morning, and go for a lovely walk through the garden. The hotel, has an open swimming pool, and a tennis court.
    Service was excellent, and I will always remember this lovely palace.

    This hotel has a great history and is still an incredibly imposing and impressive hotel complex and a wonderful base. Howard Carter (discoverer of Tut's tomb) and Agatha Christie are amongst the famous former guests.

    The hotel was imaculately clean, staff helpful and friendly and the food and drink was of the highest quality.

    The lush green gardens were beautiful. The pool was excellent ande resturants clean and inviting.
