The Winter Palace Hotel, located on the banks of the River Nile in Luxor, Egypt, is not just a hotel; it is rather the expression of European colonialism in Africa at its best. Instead of being a combined and mixed style Moorish building, it consists in the quintessence of the British concept of interiors of the Victorian era. Its renowned 1886 Restaurant, the impressive Victorian Lounge and the unique Royal Bar are a must for anyone who wants to pretend that he visited Luxor. Sitting on the veranda makes you feel like the most recent colonialist in duty.
