Aswan · Egypt
Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan is a Victorian-era hotel on the banks of the Nile, built by Thomas Cook and opened in 1900.
Its pink sandstone facade and terraces look directly onto Elephantine Island and the First Cataract, a view that inspired part of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile. It earns its place through that unbroken history, fully restored between 2008 and 2011 and now run under Sofitel's Legend collection.
Known for: adventure, seclusion, wellness.
