Overview
Opened in 1907 on the banks of the Nile, the Winter Palace Luxor was originally built to host aristocrats, diplomats, and wealthy travelers during the winter months. It quickly became the social hub of Luxor, famous for its opulent interiors, lush gardens, and panoramic Nile views.
This hotel witnessed the birth of modern Egyptology tourism — early visitors included Howard Carter, who discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb, and royalty such as King Farouk and European dignitaries. Its grand halls hosted elegant balls and gatherings, making it both a luxurious retreat and a living witness to history. Today, it remains a five-star heritage hotel, combining timeless elegance with modern luxury — a perfect stop for travelers seeking both comfort and history.
