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.

Nile Felucca
Set sail on the legendary river aboard a traditional wooden boat — the oldest way to take in the view, and still the most serene.
Hot-Air Balloon
Rise high above the valley for sweeping views over temples, tombs and the winding Nile — a perspective no ground tour can match.

“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.”
