Vincent Poon :: Winter Palace Hotel (23rd Apr 2007)
Old Cataract of Aswan; Cecil of Alexandria; in Luxor the representative of Egypt's colonial hotels must be the Winter Palace. Built in 1886. It has housed famous guests like Agatha Christie, Prince Charles, Churchill, etc... but what makes this place unique from the others was here Howard Carter announced the finding of the tomb of Tutankhamen. It was also here where Lord Carnavon, sponsor of the King Tut project, was found mysteriously dead after the discovery of the tomb...
... and I, neither famous nor rich, came here just becoz the AE bank was here.....
