Surrounded by lush gardens and bathed in golden light, this historic five-star hotel has hosted royalty, explorers, and artists for over a century—offering a front-row seat to the mysteries of the ancient world.
Located in the heart of Luxor, just a short walk from the majestic Temple of Luxor and a boat ride away from the Valley of the Kings, the Sofitel Winter Palace stands as a storied landmark on the Nile’s East Bank. Built in 1886, this legendary hotel was once the winter residence of Egyptian royalty and later welcomed iconic guests such as Winston Churchill and Agatha Christie, who found inspiration here for ‘Death on the Nile.’ Its rich heritage and prime location make it a gateway to ancient wonders and timeless elegance.
