Located in an area rich with ancient history, the Hilton Luxor is a three storey resort hotel set amid gardens on the East Bank of the Nile, one kilometre from the Temple of Karnak. This three floor hotel features 261 air conditioned guestrooms, all of which open onto balconies overlooking either the hotel gardens or the Nile, and include minibars. Bathrooms come with showers, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. Guests can enjoy a dip in the pool or unwind on the sundeck and take in panoramic views of the Nile, while more active guests can play table tennis or pool, go fishing in the Nile, or work up a sweat in the fitness room. The hotel's five restaurants offer views of the Nile and provide a range of international and regional dining options, from Egyptian mezze to Italian cooking and authentic Chinese dishes. For those with a taste for the romantic, the hotel offers a 'felucca' dinner voyage, in which guests sail down the Nile on a traditional Egyptian boat while enjoying a five course meal served by a private butler. The resort features a children's pool next to the adults' pool, along with video games and open air activities in the gardens. Staff at the 24 hour front desk can provide around the clock room service, arrange babysitting services, store valuables in the safe deposit box and book tickets for sightseeing excursions in the area. A complimentary hourly shuttle bus runs between the hotel and the city centre, and motorists will find complimentary parking facilities for up to 30 cars on site. Those fascinated by Egyptian history will find plenty of interest in the area, as Luxor is purported to contain two thirds of the world's ancient monuments. The vast Temple of Karnak, on which construction began in the 16th century BC, is one kilometre from the hotel. Luxor International Airport is nine kilometres away, with an approximate driving time of 15 minutes.
