Once the private residence of King Farouk of Egypt, with a design based on an English stately home, the Old Winter Palace is an elegant hotel and exceptional landmark, situated on the riverfront, of the likes that would even make a Pharaoh proud. Only 1 minute's walk from the resort centre of Luxor, there are shops located right outside the hotel. The Bazaar and the West Bank ferry opposite the Luxor Temple are only a five minute walk away.
If you want to travel somewhere a little further away then taxis are cheap and frequent on the main road. The hotel is located amidst picture-perfect surroundings in the vibrant central resort of Luxor with a plethora of phenomenal ancient Egyptian history close by. Take a short trip to the Luxor and Karnak Temples, Valley of the Queens, Hatsheput's Temple and the Valley of the Kings, where Egypt's great Pharaohs were buried.
