Djorff Palace  

On the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor, a waterfront spot minutes from the Valley of the Kings and Colossi of Memnon. The hotel sits about 3 km from the city center and is roughly a 15-minute drive to top sites; it's listed as 11.7 mi (18.8 km) from Luxor Temple and 13.5 mi (21.7 km) from Karnak.

Djorff Palace blends Middle Eastern and North African architecture with 18th–19th century antiques for a timeless, slightly dramatic vibe. The boutique property has 18 air-conditioned rooms with minibars and private furnished balconies or patios, plus terraces, a garden and a small library.

Dip in the outdoor pool and grab a drink at the poolside bar or lounge. There's a restaurant and a coffee shop for snacks, plus a terrace and garden with waterfront views—wake up to Nile-breeze mornings.
