While building, location, food at the Winter palace are all awesome, it is the service that sets this place apart from its competitors. Nothing but outstanding! I would love to come back one day

We were so looking forward to staying at this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. We had a classic Nile room with views over the river and beyond. The room was well appointed and extremely comfortable. The hotel is in a great location for walks along the corniche and into the shops, souks and restaurants of Luxor and for access to boat trips on the river. The staff were friendly and helpful in every respect. We had a wonderful stay.

A grand hotel with impeccable service

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Christopher Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

If you're in Luxor I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. The Winter Palace has a kind of grandeur that is rarely seen anymore. The hotel staff from the front desk manager to the bar manager to the dining room manager all take a great deal of pride in their work and are clearly paying attention to the details. I needed a train ticket procured and my shoes repaired while I was staying at the hotel--Mr. Amed the head butler was able to organize everything very efficiently. I had dinner at both restaurants--even if you're not staying at the hotel it's worthwhile.

Luxury meets history at this amazing hotel in the heart of Luxor

Laura Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

This is an incredible hotel in every way, the atmosphere is royal and luxurious, the garden is stunning and peaceful, and once you walk out of the hotel you are right at the Nile and only minutes away from the Luxor Temple and Sphinx Avenue. The breakfast is absolutely scrumptious. If you are only trying continental items you are missing out, as the Egyptian items were mouth-watering. Without a doubt we had the best fitir in all of Luxor here! We also arranged a private wedding dinner in the hotel garden, which was taken care of just perfectly with delicious food, attentive waiters and zero hassle. We had an unforgettable day and the kitchen even prepared us a beautiful wedding cake on the house. Needless to say we will definitely come back here.

We love this hotel. It has amazing history and the rooms are resplendent of the age. The staff are so attentive and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. This was our 4th visit and we hope to return again and again. The gardens are magnificent and the pool large and inviting with plenty of sun beds. The building and atmosphere reflect the golden age of travel which can be easily lost when hotels 'refurbish'.

Nice staff but ready for a refresh

Customer review rating 3.0/5

Jim B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

While we enjoyed our stay, we felt that the hotel is long overdue for redecorating and renovation. The lobby has drab worn out furniture. The rooms need new furnishing and the bathrooms need updating. The fancy restaurant looks tired and the upholstry on our chairs was worn through on the arms and looked dirty. The food there was ok, not inspired. Breakfast was good and the staff throughout were helpful and nice. The gardens and pool area are very nice. This is a beautiful old structure that is ready to be seriously updated in the same manner as the other Sofitel property we stayed at in Aswan (Cataract) that was spectacular. The rooms at least were well priced.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Kindly note that the hotel is planned to have a renovation to be in line with our Guest's expectations ; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Wessam Farah Guest Experience Manager

We had three nights in the Sofitel Winter Palace. We had a great time there. The hotel is situated next to the Luxor temple. Every one of the staff were so friendly, welcoming and eager to help you from the reception to the restaurant and the swimming pool to the hospitality staff. The hotel is steeped in history and the hotel has kept its heritage. The bedrooms were grand and well equipped in keeping with such a grand building. The food was excellent and the choice at breakfast was more than you would expect. The hotel however is looking a little 'tired' in parts but overall we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it for a luxury stay in gorgeous Luxor.

Our Stay at the Sofitel Winter Palace hotel was most enjoyable, the staff was always helpful and friendly and management was attentive to all details under the leadership of the hotel general manager Mr. Selim Shawer. We had the pleasure of dinning at the hotel restaurant 1886 and the food and service was super. The bar at the hotel is an experience not to be missed bringing you to one of Agatha Christie's novels and both service and staff are amazing. We wish to thank all Winter Palace team for making our stay at the hotel an unforgettable and memorable experience we will treasure and share with friends worldwide . WE look forward to coming back soon to your magnificent hotel.

My Luxor Home!

Anton V TripAdvisor review

I am so glad I found the Winter Palace. We'd been traveling for 3 weeks with little down time and when we saw the pool and spa we knew we'd found our home for the day and night. This oasis far exceeded my expectations in every way. The night time views over the river is mesmerizing. The pool, grounds and spa are fantastic and would be anywhere else in the world. We just felt comfortable and relaxed in the hotel and on the property. High ceilings, wide hallways and beautiful decor helped with that. The staff leapt to our every request (which were few). I felt as if the hotel had anticipated our needs in advance. They certainly knew how to take care of 6 weary travelers. We had 3 meals in the hotel. Lunch at El Nakhel poolside, dinner in the bar and the complementary breakfast. All 3 perfection. My first cocktail is always a Manhattan and that cocktail was excellent. Thank you so much to the hotel for both the early check-in ( our Nile cruise ended at 8 am ) and the room upgrade. We will stay here again when we return to Egypt in a few years.

We were delighted by the warm welcome of all the team. Of course the location was perfect as well as the services et aminities. It was so nice to start the day with a gargantuous breakfast buffet to get strenght before the temples visits and finish the day chilling at the Royal Bar. Thanks you for this mémorable stay !
