5-star hotels in Luxor
A shortlist of 5-star hotels in Luxor, from riverside addresses on the East Bank to quiet West Bank houses. It is for travellers weighing a classic Nile-side stay against a smaller, more secluded base.
Staying in Luxor
Luxor is a place travellers come to for ancient monuments, with the Nile running through the middle and hotels lining its banks. The East Bank is the livelier side, and most of the hotels here carry addresses on it: Khaled Ben Walid St East Bank, Khaled Ben El Walid Street, Corniche El Nile Street, Cornish El Nile Street, Cornish El Nile St, Corniche El Nile Street again and Gebly Street. A few sit further out at New Karnak, on Aswan Road on Kings Island, or on the West Bank at Hager Al Dabbeya, Habu Al Bairat and Albairat Jorf.
That split shapes who each hotel suits. Couples and short-break visitors tend to want the corniche addresses, where the East Bank hotels are stacked, or the New Karnak and Kings Island resorts. Families are served by hotels that list family rooms or babysitting service, on both banks. Business travellers will find 24-hour front desks, ATMs and bars in nearly every property on the list. Anyone wanting quiet and distance from the centre should look at the West Bank entries, which are the smallest and furthest from the corniche cluster.
