The Winter Palace Hotel, is a 5 star hotel, located on the banks of the River Nile in Luxor, Egypt, just South of the Luxor temple, was built in 1886 during English and French occupation of the region.
In 1975 the complex was extended by the building of the 'New' Winter Palace. Classed by tourist guides as a 3 star hotel, this is a hotel in its own right but is joined to the 'old' by link corridors. The two hotels share many amenities including the gardens, pools, courts, terraces and restaurants.
It is now owned by Sofitel, a French company. Lord Carnarvon, who discovered Tutankhamun's was reported to have been found dead in a room of this hotel, his room has never been made available to anybody since.
