"I find the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract embodies Nile‑side grandeur with legendary service, making it a luxurious place to stay while exploring southern Egypt." - Jenn Sinrich
"A historic luxury retreat in Aswan celebrated for its heritage and literary connection—famously associated with Agatha Christie, who wrote Death on the Nile there—anchoring the brand’s emphasis on storied, emotive guest experiences." - Jennifer Flowers
"A luxury hotel where Citi ThankYou Points can be redeemed for discounts through the Accor Live Limitless program."
"Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile here. The hotel is part of the Sofitel Legend Collection and features a historical Victorian building dating back to 1899. Visitors can tour Christie's suite and enjoy amenities like a palm-tree-ringed pool and the 1902 Restaurant." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Occupying a 19th-century Victorian palace on the Nileside in Aswan, I found it to be an excellent historic hotel at a reasonable price point, as one reader described." - Hannah Walhout Hannah Walhout Hannah Walhout is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, where she edits the Discoveries section of the print magazine and develops longer stories focusing on food, wine, and spirits.
