If you’re planning a trip to Luxor and looking for the perfect five-star hotel, there are plenty of luxury options to choose from. Whether you want a peaceful Nile-side retreat, a central location close to the city’s famous temples, or a hotel with world-class facilities, there’s something for every traveler. Here’s a breakdown of the best five-star hotels in Luxor:

Steigenberger Resort Achti – A Quiet Riverside Escape

Best for: A peaceful stay with stunning river views
Location: 2.9km from the city center
Dining: Two restaurants serving international cuisine
Vibe: Quiet, tropical, and perfect for unwinding

If you love the idea of sipping your morning coffee while watching boats drift down the Nile, Steigenberger Resort Achti is the one for you. Although it’s a 4* not 5*, it gives the sense of luxury coupled with tranquility. Set within lush gardens, it’s a little further out from the city center, meaning you’ll need a taxi for sightseeing – but that also means peace and quiet away from the hustle.

With a huge pool, gorgeous Nile views, and spacious rooms, this is a great pick for those who want a luxury retreat feel while still being close enough to explore Luxor’s wonders.

✨ Top Tip: Ask for a Nile-facing room – the sunsets here are next-level!

Best for: Ultimate relaxation after temple-hopping
Location: Close to Karnak Temple
Dining: Seven bars and restaurants with global cuisine
Vibe: Chic, modern, and all about poolside bliss

If you’re the kind of traveler who wants a mix of adventure and relaxation, Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa is a dream. Located just a short drive (or walk) from Karnak Temple, this place makes sightseeing easy – but the real showstopper? Two infinity pools overlooking the Nile.

After a morning exploring ancient tombs, you can float in the pool with a cocktail in hand, visit the luxury spa, or indulge in one of the resort’s seven dining options. From casual bites to fine dining, there’s something for every craving.

✨ Top Tip: Make time for the Nile – side sunset views from the pool – easily one of the best in Luxor.
