The 5 star Sonesta St. George is an elegant contemporary hotel, only minutes from Luxor temple. The tone is set when the guest is greeted by the gracious staff in the grand entrance lobby, laid with marble floors and lit by a dramatic crystal chandalier. The heated outdoor pool centers a terrace that sweeps dramatically to the banks of the Nile. Several restaurants offer a range of cuisines, from continental to Japanese to Egyptian. Luxurious guest rooms with marble bathrooms all have dramatic views of the Nile of the city.
