This famous hotel was built in 1886 in British Colonial style and was soon to become the leading hotel in Luxor. It was here that news of Howard Carters discovery in the Valley of the Kings was first posted to inform the guests of the day. The list of previous guests reads like a who’s who of the last hundred years and includes King Farouk and King Fouad of Egypt, the Agha Kan, the Tsar and Tsarina of Russia, Sir Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Montgomery, Howard Carter and so on.

Offering all the amenities and comfort of a modern hotel enhanced with a unique atmosphere and the splendour of times past. Set amongst beautiful grounds and overlooking the Nile, the Old Winter Palace has a subtle blend of intimacy and grandeur. There is a choice of restaurants with a la carte dining served by candlelight at the famous 1886 restaurant, the El Nakheel restaurant serving light meals and snacks in the swimming pool area and the prestigious yet intimate, La Corniche restaurant which serves breakfast and la carte dinner.
