Snapshot
02Overview
Morning on the Kornish Al Nile begins with motorboats and feluccas passing beneath the balcony and the smell of strong coffee from nearby cafés, a view many rooms at Aswan Plaza Corniche offer. The rooftop terrace and the shaded pool provide quiet places to read, while the restaurant serves a breakfast buffet of local and continental choices; the spa and bar are steps away if you prefer to stay on site.
We arrange your reservation and can add an airport shuttle or late check-in; the front desk will hold early luggage and our local team will confirm your room type and any special requests before arrival. We recommend this hotel for travellers who want a central Nile-front address beside CIB Bank with straightforward facilities.
Background
Aswan Plaza Corniche is a 4-star hotel on Kornish Al Nile in central Aswan, Egypt. The property faces the Nile and stands beside CIB Bank. It offers standard double rooms and suites, with many rooms providing Nile or city views; some have balconies or terrace views.
The hotel is on Aswan’s Corniche, within walking distance of the Aswan Souk and the riverfront promenade. The central address places the property among Aswan’s urban waterfront streets rather than at a resort outside the city centre.
Facilities include a rooftop terrace, outdoor pool, bar, spa, fitness facilities, concierge and on-site parking. Wi-Fi is available in guest rooms and public areas, and daily housekeeping is included. The front desk operates 24 hours a day; breakfast, airport transfers and spa treatments depend on the booking or are charged separately.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Many Aswan resort hotels sit outside the city centre; Aswan Plaza Corniche is on the central Corniche, within walking distance of the Aswan Souk. Unlike a room rate that includes every service, this booking excludes meals unless breakfast is specified and excludes spa treatments and unbooked airport transfers.

Dining
No restaurant or bar names, menus, opening hours or meal-plan details were supplied for Aswan Plaza Corniche. We therefore cannot confirm whether breakfast is served as a buffet, whether dining is available on site or what the room rate includes. Check the selected rate’s board basis before booking: Bed & Breakfast, Half Board and other meal arrangements are not interchangeable. We can verify the current dining arrangements with the hotel before you choose a rate.

Budget separately for spa treatments and any applicable local city or tourism taxes.

Tailor it
Room choices range from standard doubles to suites, with some Nile or city views and selected rooms offering a balcony or terrace view. Check whether breakfast is included in your chosen rate: it is included only when booked as Bed & Breakfast, while airport transfers and spa treatments are separate unless explicitly added.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Aswan Plaza Corniche works as a central Aswan stay before or after a Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor. Its Corniche address also makes the city’s riverfront and souk accessible on foot.
Accessibility
The hotel has step-free access to most guest floors via an elevator, but not all public areas are fully level. There are a few steps between the lobby and the pool terrace, and the pool has a raised edge that may require assistance to enter. Standard room doorways are typical width and may be tight for large wheelchairs or for turning; accessible rooms are limited and must be requested at time of booking so we can confirm suitability. Pavements along the Corniche can be uneven and include short kerb drops. Taxis and transfer cars in Aswan are usually low-floor saloon vehicles rather than specialised accessible minibuses, so passengers who need a ramp or hoist should advise us in advance. Tell us your mobility needs when booking so we can check room allocation, arrival logistics and local assistance options.
Before you go
There is no universal minimum age for stays, but children must be accompanied by an adult. Child rates, and the availability of extra beds or a cot, depend on the room type and the rate you book; please state the number and ages of children at reservation so we can confirm pricing. Cots and high chairs are available on request and subject to availability. Strollers are practical on the main hotel level, though some entrances and sections of the Corniche pavement have steps.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.

Aswan Plaza Corniche is in Aswan, southern Egypt, and is a four-star hotel.

– Responsible travel
Guests mostly arrive to the property by taxi or private car; the hotel uses standard passenger vehicles for any hotel-arranged transfers rather than large coaches. The property runs a guest linen and towel reuse programme to reduce laundry water use, and public-area lighting is fitted with LED bulbs. Food and beverage outlets source fresh produce from Aswan markets and nearby suppliers when available, which supports local growers and vendors. Housekeeping uses concentrated cleaning products to lower packaging waste, and the hotel maintains separate recycling bins in back-of-house areas. We encourage guests to bring reusable water bottles; where available the hotel provides chilled drinking water stations rather than single-use bottled water.

CairoRadisson Blu in Cairo provides international-standard rooms and practical services; we book it often for arrival and departure nights. We prefer Radisson Blu when clients need predictable logistics: unlike small boutique hotels, its straightforward reception and transport options reduce risk on late or early flights. We arrange airport transfers, early check-in requests where possible, and private cars for onward Cairo sightseeing. Trade-offs: this is a business-style hotel rather than a heritage property, and you should expect standard city traffic noise rather than a quiet garden setting. Discovery Tours Egypt is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and manages local arrangements and billing.
From £48
LuxorSteigenberger Resort Achti Luxor is a centrally located Luxor hotel we use as a stable base for multi-day East and West Bank sightseeing. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange room reservations, airport and local transfers, and private Egyptologists for visits to Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple and the West Bank necropolis. We prefer land-based hotels for longer stays because they avoid daily packing and provide a consistent overnight address, unlike short Nile-cruise nights that move every day. Expect early starts for Valley of the Kings visits, possible town traffic at peak hours, and the usual hot, dry afternoons in summer.

Hurghada1 Days

Unlike a larger resort complex, the listed facilities offer several options within one hotel, though the details of room types and dining arrangements should be confirmed for your dates.
