Our Story

Warmth, History & Unparalleled Views

Situated in the very heart of Luxor, Emilio Hotel is a sanctuary of comfort and culture. A few minutes from the banks of the legendary River Nile, 300 yards from Luxor Temple, and moments from the ancient Avenue of Sphinxes — our location is unmatched.

Our 101 guest rooms are designed for those who wish to be deeply connected to this extraordinary city. Most rooms on upper floors offer wonderful panoramic views of the Nile and Luxor's illuminated skyline — a sight that must be experienced to be believed.

We retain the natural, warm friendliness for which Luxor is justly famous, blended with the refined comfort of a modern luxury hotel.

Voices from the Valley

The rooftop terrace has fabulous views — an amazing sunset over the Nile. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the food is very reasonable and good quality. We can thoroughly recommend.
Samantha
United Kingdom
The room was spotlessly clean and everything worked. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast buffet was good. But best of all was the staff — kind, friendly, and hard-working to keep guests happy.
Adam
Spain
A fabulous hotel with very friendly, helpful staff. Fantastic location overlooking the Avenue of the Sphinxes and Luxor Temple, and a short walk to the ferry. Would definitely recommend.
