Sofitel Old Winter Palace (5*)
The Sofitel Old Winter Palace is a charming step into the past, on the ancient banks of the Nile. Situated in a tropical garden near the Temple of Luxor, this Victorian-style hotel has 92 rooms and suites, each fit with air conditioning and mini bar to suit late night snack cravings and beat the heat. The two restaurants offer splendid a la carte options and specialty dishes nightly to add a twist on the menu. The hotel is centrally located, allowing for easy access to all of the city’s attractions. Many guests choose to go gallivanting around town and return afterwards to relax on the terrace with a view of the river. Others hop into the pool for a refreshing swim and spend the rest of the evening mingling in the piano bar.
