Stayed there in June 1995 (yes it was a long time ago), quite simply the
best address in Luxor - they even have guided tours around the hotel for
non-residents!

The foyer seems to be frozen in time from the thirties, the corridors
upstairs are wide like on the upper decks on some bygone ocean liner replete
with antique chairs, sofa's and oils.

They have afternoon tea, cocktail parties, shorts and swimwear are not
allowed to be worn inside and the pool table in the bar is only for use of
guests of the old wing.
The 1886 restaurant has to be booked in advance but the other eateries on
site are still excellent.

When I stayed the pool was open, they are usually serviced earlier in the
year and was still the case in 1998 when I returned, though then I stayed at
the Hilton - not in the same league.

GO! Stay at the OWP and have a great time!


Colin.
ps,
Remember to tip - little and often!
