Very historical, well placed property. Beautiful gardens and pool (the biggest gardens in Luxor). Great location - 5 minute walk to Luxor Temple. The facilities are a little dated, and there is no gym or spa, but it’s the best hotel in Luxor and the staff is fantastic

This heritage hotel transports you back to that heyday of glamorous travel and the staff excel all expectations of hospitality. There's no other property with these views, the location is excellent - opposed the Nile with views across to the Valley of the Kings and right next to Luxor temple

Wonderful old world historic hotel with friendly staff. The old part of the hotel has rooms facing the Nile, which, while pretty, are noisier than other rooms.

Life goals - stay in a palace. Completed!! This hotel was incredible and had a beautiful view of the water (Nile), you could stroll at night and visit the Luxor temple. The bathroom and large patio off the bedroom were stunning. The breakfast on fine china and delicious eats was one of the best I’d had in a while. Will definitely return to this place that was comfort and heaven in every way.
