Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa

Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa sits on the east bank of the Nile in the quiet New Karnak area, about a 15-minute walk from the Karnak Temple complex and a short drive from Luxor’s town centre. The resort is built low, with three floors of rooms around lush gardens, and almost every room has a balcony — many looking across the river to the Theban hills on the west bank. Its 235 rooms and suites range from 30 m² guest rooms with garden or Nile views to family rooms, Nile and Deluxe suites, and spacious Spa Suites of nearly 100 m². The two infinity pools, one of them for adults only, sit right on the riverbank and are among the best places in Luxor to watch the sun set over the Nile. The spa is one of the largest in Upper Egypt, with treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room and hot tub, and there is a 24-hour gym. Guests can eat by the river at Olives, choose the all-day Rosetta, or try Asian fine dining at Silk Road, with a swim-up bar and pool bars during the day. With free parking, meeting rooms and a tour desk that can arrange balloon rides and west-bank trips, it suits couples, families and wellness travellers who want a peaceful base close to the temples.
