Winter Palace Hotel
فندق وينتر بالاس
A Victorian-style hotel that opened in 1886, where Carter announced the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb and Agatha Christie once stayed.
The hotel sits on the Nile Corniche. Its yellow façade and curved double staircase are classic colonial-era architecture, and the grounds include an extensive tropical garden. Non-guests can enjoy afternoon tea in the lobby bar or on the terrace while watching the sunset over the Nile. Dress code applies, so shorts and flip-flops are not suitable. The hotel is close to Luxor Temple and makes a good stop on an East Bank walk.
