From the moment my wife and I entered the hotel we were met and then looked after by courteous and delightful management and staff. Our large room overlooking the gardens was quiet and with a balcony to sit and enjoy the view of those gardens. The sheets and pillow cases made going to bed a pleasure The bar had old... more

The Winter Palace is still the place to stay in Luxor, whether in the Old Building or the less expensive Garden Pavilion Wing. With the loss of the New Winter tower block and 180 bedrooms, prices have risen this year by quite an amount.
