Sonesta St George details

The wonderful five-star Sonesta St George is as modern as the monuments around it are ancient – and it makes the perfect base for an exploration of Luxor’s treasures. However, in terms of luxury, comfort and service, it’s distinctly old-fashioned and you will find that the interiors carry more than a hint of nostalgia for the traditional grand hotel. Outside there is an elegant pool with sun terraces over-looking the majestic Nile; there is also a first-rate health club with gym, sauna, whirlpool and steam bath. The large and elegant monochrome dining room serves mouth-watering buffets, but you can also opt for Chinese or Oriental a la carte, or choose something from the Italian restaurant and coffee shop.

The bedrooms in the Sonesta St George are sleek and stylish, with sumptuous furnishings and all the amenities one would expect; upgrades to side Nile views are available. The hotel is just 1.5 kilometres from the centre of Luxor.
