Location Luxor, Egypt

Set along the Nile River in Luxor, this hotel is close to Luxor Temple and the city's ancient archaeological treasures. A grand marble entrance opens to an opulent lobby with polished marble floors and ornate furnishings. A massive glittering chandelier adds to the luxurious atmosphere, and the hallways are lined with tropical plants in glass-walled planters. Expansive windows and a riverside terrace offer sweeping views of the Nile, where sailboats float gracefully by.

Carpeted guest rooms feature classic furnishings and jewel-toned accents. Against the windows overlooking Luxor, there are upholstered armchairs in rich colors. Rooms have one king or two twin beds, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and coffeemakers, while en suite marble bathrooms include tub-shower combos.

A large outdoor swimming pool, overlooking the Nile, is ringed with sun loungers and colorful umbrellas, while a swim-up bar serves cocktails, smoothies, and poolside snacks. The sprawling pool deck is illuminated at night, creating a romantic dining atmosphere as the sun sets over the water. Enjoy a massage, steam room, sauna or Jacuzzi in the spa, or work out in the fitness center.

Several restaurants serve guests, including fine Japanese dining, the hotel’s signature Italian restaurant, a coffee shop, and buffet breakfasts. An English-style cocktail lounge with rich carpeting and walnut furniture overlooks the Nile. The hotel is certified through Egypt's Green Star Hotel environmental program, recognizing its sustainable hospitality practices.
