Four Seasons Hotel Luxor, set to open in 2025, will feature 200 guest rooms and suites, each with views of the Nile River, the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. The hotel will be located just south of the highly acclaimed Luxor Temple, which dates back to 1400 BC.

The property will also feature expansive meeting and event spaces totalling 1,300 square metres (14,000 square feet).
WATG Architects, who have helped create Four Seasons experiences in Maui, Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, Tianjin and a soon-to-come project in Hanoi will lead the design of the building, with Wimberly Interiors overseeing the interiors, who have worked on Four Seasons projects in Los Angeles and Maui.
New Four Seasons Private Residences at Sharm El Sheikh
Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Sharm El Sheikh has been one of Egypt’s most celebrated resorts since its opening 20 years ago. While the legendary service has remained the same, the property has now doubled in size following an exceptional enhancement project, with new accommodations, restaurants, recreational facilities and meeting spaces.
The expansion project includes the addition of 69 Private Residences to the existing collection of 77. Overlooking crystal-clear waters and more than one kilometre (3,200 feet) of private beachfront, residents enjoy the property management and service of Four Seasons dedicated residential team as well as priority access to the amenities and offerings of the newly expanded resort, which include 12 exciting culinary concepts, tennis courts, a golf course, fitness facilities, entry to one of the world’s most renowned dive sites, and so much more.
The new residential offerings will be comprised of 25 villas and 44 chalets ranging from 195 to 240 square metres (2,100 to 2,600 square feet). The two-bedroom ensuite chalets will feature expansive living spaces with sophisticated interiors and private pools. The four-bedroom villas will include sea views, private pools, spacious open-air entertaining setups and will have a total gross area of 710 square metres (7,650 square feet). With only two in the collection, the five-bedroom villas will be custom designed to the owner’s discretion and occupy expansion plots with uninterrupted views of the Red Sea.
Egypt is an important destination in Four Seasons history, as it marked our brand’s entry into the Middle East 22 years ago. Our continued expansion illustrates our ongoing commitment to the region, and all that it has to offer for luxury travellers and homeowners. TMG has long been an integral development partner for our projects in Cairo at Nile Plaza, Alexandria at San Stefano and Sharm El Sheikh. We are thrilled to continue our exceptional work together, providing guests and residents in Egypt with unmatched luxury experiences through our collection of new hotel and residential offerings.
