Luxury in Luxor
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, gardens were fabulous and really enjoyed the 1886 restaurant (although portions were too big)

A little piece of history in Luxor on the east bank

Hotel and bathroom very spacious overlooking the garden - breakfast was varied with lots of choices

Had some great photos taken on the fabulous staircase and afternoon tea looked delicious

Loved the elegance from a bygone era and was a privilege to stay

The Winter Palace a fantastic gem in Egypt
Pros:

The Winter Palace is such an amazing Hotel x it makes you feel like royalty. The gardens are superb and the gardeners are working to keep them tidy. The food is excellent x we went in both restaurants and the experience was fab. The pool area is great plenty of sunbeds and the pool staff very helpful like the outdoor restaurant again food very high quality. We stayed at the Pavilion 20 years ago and wanted to come back to Egypt for my 60th bday. I felt that the Winter Palace the staff, the excellent service from the front desk , the restaurant staff the housekeeping , everyone made my stay the best ever.
Great Hotel Great staff best place to stay in Egypt x

Disapointing experience
Pros:

We had drinks 25/2/2026 evening at the bar beside the pool. Very poor quality, extravagant prices ~ 40€ per drink. The service was good and they accepted to change one of the drinks as they had brought us a wrong one
