We visited the hotel as it was recommended by a friend for dinner or lunch. We didn’t actually stay so I can’t comment on that. We were given a tour and what we saw was very beautiful - a total oasis of calm and beauty. I imagine many of the reviews are accurate but I came away feeling slightly sad. This place is gorgeous but it is located in the middle of nowhere, in a very poor area of Luxor and I found the contrast of wealth and poverty too upsetting. When we left after our delightful lunch we were harassed by a child beggar, filthy from head to toe who clearly hadn’t seen water in weeks, teeth missing, no clothing, crying and begging for money. I felt terrible guilt having just been somewhere so amazing. And it struck me that this place just seems so out of place, so in the wrong place. I hope and pray this hotel brings genuine prosperity to this area but I imagine Chateau and Relais cream off most of the profit. I would love to hear from them and hear about their amazing initiatives to empower the local people to improve their place in life and change the cycle of poverty.
