A five-star hotel by Luxor Temple on the Nile Corniche, with East Bank temples and museums close at hand.
The short answer
Pavillon Winter Luxor is a five-star hotel beside Luxor Temple on the Corniche, which Egypt Discovery can book for you.
Snapshot
02Overview
Walk along Luxor's Corniche and you hear the river boats and the waterfront traders before the old stone of the temple appears. Pavillon Winter Luxor stands next door to Luxor Temple, so the busy riverside and the temple's great entrance are both part of your stay, not a separate trip. The West Bank, with its other ancient sites, lies across the Nile.
Inside, what you get depends on the room and rate you choose. We handle the booking and can explain the room, meal plan and conditions before you pay, so you know exactly what is covered.
Background
Pavillon Winter Luxor is a five-star hotel on the Nile Corniche in central Luxor, on the east bank of the river. Egypt Discovery arranges bookings; the hotel provides the accommodation.
The hotel stands beside Luxor Temple, in the historic heart of the city. The Nile separates the East Bank from the West Bank, where major archaeological areas of ancient Thebes lie.
Luxor Temple was built and extended mainly in the New Kingdom, notably under Amenhotep III and Ramesses II. The ancient city of Thebes, taking in the monuments of Luxor and Karnak, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage property in 1979.
The Corniche address gives access to the sights of the East Bank and to the riverfront. Check-in times, room categories, meal plans and facility hours should be confirmed for your chosen rate before you book.

EnquireDining
We do not have menus, opening hours or meal plans for the hotel, so please check with it before choosing a rate or planning meals. The listed facilities include a restaurant, a bar and room service, but ask whether breakfast comes with your room and when each venue is open. Being in the middle of Luxor, you can also ask the concierge about places to eat nearby.
On property
Field notes
Check whether breakfast is in your rate before you pay.
Read the room description for a balcony, Nile view or garden view rather than guessing from the address.
Ask the hotel to confirm check-in and check-out times before you plan arrival or departure.
For the West Bank, leave time for the river crossing and confirm the day's transport.
Tailor it
We handle the room booking, and you can compare room types and rate plans, including breakfast or other meal terms where offered. Ask us about adding visits to Karnak Temple or the West Bank, or about staying longer in Luxor.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
A central Luxor stop between time in Cairo and a journey on to Aswan. The Corniche address is beside Luxor Temple, and East Bank museums and Karnak Temple can be reached from the centre.
Accessibility
The hotel stands beside Luxor Temple on the Nile Corniche, but step-free routes, lift access and accessible room features need confirming with the hotel before you book. Access inside the hotel can differ from access at the nearby monuments. Luxor Temple and other ancient sites often have uneven stone, steps, thresholds and long walks in the open, so wheelchair access may be limited. Summer heat and exposed surfaces make walking harder still. Let us know about any mobility needs before you travel and we will check the room and access arrangements with the hotel.
Before you go
Check the hotel's minimum age, any child rates and whether cots or high chairs are available for your dates. Children can visit Luxor Temple with an adult, but the stone paths are uneven and the open areas hot. Pushchairs can be awkward on paving and steps. Ask us to check room occupancy rules and child rates before you book.
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.
Location
The hotel is on the Nile Corniche in Luxor, beside Luxor Temple. That puts a major ancient monument next door, with no journey across town needed to reach it. Luxor is split by the Nile, with the East Bank and the West Bank offering different sights and neighbourhoods. The concierge or front desk can advise on current transport and journey times to other places on your list.

LuxorEl Nakhil Hotel is a three-star hotel in Gezira El Bairat, on the West Bank of the Nile at Luxor. Central Luxor and Karnak Temple sit on the opposite bank, so this is a quieter, more rural base than the town hotels. It suits travellers who want to wake up on the same side of the river as the ancient burial grounds. The listing shows features such as a pool, garden, restaurant and bar. Room details and meal arrangements are confirmed for your dates when you book.

LuxorSteigenberger Nile Palace sits on Luxor's Nile Corniche on the East Bank, within easy reach of Luxor Temple and the river piers. Rooms face the Nile or the city. We favour this hotel as a practical city base for East Bank sightseeing; unlike cruise passengers, guests return to the same hotel each evening. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator we arrange Nile-view rooms, private transfers and guided visits with our Egyptologists. Trade-offs: lower-floor rooms can suffer Corniche traffic noise, and the hotel is a modern property rather than a small, historic guesthouse.
From £67
LuxorNew Memnon Hotel is on Memnon Street, on the West Bank of Luxor. That bank lies across the Nile from the town centre and is the starting point for sites such as the Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu. Staying here is a very different choice from an East Bank hotel by Luxor Temple. The three-star hotel lists a pool, garden, rooftop terrace, restaurant and bar. We book it on request as part of your trip, and we confirm rooms, meals and services for your dates before anything is arranged.
