In the midst of magnificent ancient Egyptian temples by the Nile, Sofitel Luxor Winter Palace blends the rich historical past of a colonial building with French luxury.
The palace was the winter residence of King Farouk, and later a harbor for 19th century explorers fascinated with Egyptian culture. From the very imposing staircase, Howard Carter announced he had discovered the immaculately preserved tomb of Tutankhamun.
With strong Victorian influences, the palace was built using master craftsmen. French details, like the grand chandelier and curtains made of sumptuous textiles, were added to achieve a distinctive level of elegance and refinement.
Wander in lush royal gardens with exotic flowers, as birds envelop the Winter Palace. The gardens were carefully designed to enhance the architecture of the building and provide a luxuriant space where you can linger outdoors under centuries-old trees.
