It doesn't happen often that we find ourselves in a hotel or lodge where we fail to identify a number of design errors, service inadequacies or similar downsides the moment we enter the place. At the Luxor Hilton, however, even at second and third glance everything is and remains impeccable. From the wonderful contemporary arabesque ornaments that adorn walls and doors to the jaw-dropping pool area with its view over to the orchards and mountains of the West Bank, from the delicious food to the many chill-out nooks and resting spots, this is as close as it gets to informal luxury. When you return from a visit to one of the areas many pharaonic sights, temples and necropoles out in the sweltering desert heat, the sleek, modern architecture and leafy gardens with many a water feature are a soothing treat. Find a spot by the Nile or pool, order a fresh lemon juice and take in the splendour of the place. It's within walking distance to Karnak temple and the Luxor Museum and the super-friendly staff will happily give you directions - or organise transport if you are not inclined to attempt a small hike. Everyone here from gardeners to bell captain has at least basic command of English, which we found quite impressive and would like to think it's testimony to a business operation that takes its employees and their training seriously. What can we say, it's perfect.
