Pros (+) The winter palace is stunning and our Nile view room was amazing too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The garden bbq was exceptional.

Gregory, Apr 2025
Pros (+) Fabulous colonial British culture celebrated here. Carter Carnarvon Noel Coward have all visited. Very comfortable. Top quality food. Staff are top quality at all levels. All this set in botanical gardens and late Victorian grandeur. Do not miss it if you're Luxor.
Cons (-) Pool area is fab. Problem is the recently added Pavillion annexe means it can be a bit crowded at peak times.
