Pavillon Winter Luxor
Luxor, Egypt · Fairmont · Accessible Luxury
Built in the rear gardens of the Victorian-era Winter Palace complex in the 1990s, the Pavilion Winter is a four-star annex to one of Egyptology's most storied addresses. The original Winter Palace — inaugurated on 19 January 1907 — served as the press headquarters when Howard Carter announced the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922; the Pavilion shares gardens, pools, and Nile terrace with the parent hotel while offering more accessible tier pricing at the same Luxor Corniche address.

About Pavillon Winter Luxor
- The parent Winter Palace served as the international press centre for the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb — Carter used the hotel's noticeboard as his official news ticker for the world's journalists.
- The Pavilion was constructed in the 1990s as a garden annex; unlike the 1907 Palace Wing, it was later demolished and replaced, making the current Pavilion a relatively modern structure sharing only its address with the Victorian history.
History
Pavilion Winter Hotel Luxor is a historic property on the east bank of the Nile in Luxor, Egypt, originally built in the early 20th century as a winter retreat for European visitors to the ancient temples and tombs of Upper Egypt. The hotel sits adjacent to Luxor Temple and the Corniche, offering views of the Nile and the West Bank mountains beyond. In the tradition of colonial-era Egyptian winter resorts, the property has hosted archaeologists, royalty, and aristocrats throughout its history. It is managed by Fairmont as part of its Egyptian portfolio.
