The Sofitel Winter Palace is a fantastic English colonial hotel dating from the 1880's. The setting, bar, gardens and architecture are definitely five star. One can easily spend an entire day at the pool soaking up the sun and Stella Artois. The restaurants however are truly awful. We took a taxi to the Hilton for dinner after two overpriced meals in the WP.

Dear Jeff,
My name is Duncan Watt and I am the writer of a number of informational-adventure books for young people (www.wallaceboys.com); my books are now only available on DVD as PDF files. One of my books is set in Egypt and I would very much like to use your picture of the Winter Palace Hotel and I shall use any acknowledgement wording you would like. (By the way, I should only be using the small picture, not the huge resolution one.

It's a very nice picture - captures the grandeur; they don't make them like that anymore!
I shall look forward to hearing from you; yours faithfully, Duncan Watt (wallaceboys@hotmail.co.uk)
