“The Winter Palace whispers stories of royalty and bygone eras, its Victorian lounge practically demanding an afternoon tea. I appreciate how its location places you steps from Luxor Temple, yet the gardens offer a serene escape. On-site dining ventures into French fusion, an unexpected but welcome culinary detour in the heart of Luxor.”
