Marking the long-anticipated end to an ambitious beginning, the iconic Steigenberger Golf Resort is the first hotel in El Gouna to have shut its doors from the public for a complete renovation. On 15th of February this top to toe revamped beauty will once again welcome guests with its signature presence stepping into the new year with modern flair.
With its origins inspired by a tale of love for a stunning location and excellence in hospitality, award winning Michael Graves designed the hotel with a deep respect for heritage while facilitating modern luxuries in mind. Situated amidst shimmering lagoons and golf greens stretching as far as they eye can see, El Gouna’s iconic domes, arched windows and raw horticulture coupled with The Steigenberger’s signature cosmopolitan vision of “Gastfreundschaft” stand as a testament to timeless hospitality at its finest.

A full renovation reimagined by GG & Grace now invites the modern traveler to impeccable quality, impressively reconceptualised designs and uplifted dining experiences. Here are some of the wonderful updates to expect from this new and improved beloved member of an internationally acclaimed chain:
Aesthetic Charisma
True hospitality is a harmonious medley of local authenticity and world-renowned standards of the Deutsche Hospitality Group. Revamped and flatteringly gorgeous, a deep attention to detail now graces every space across the resort’s grand interior.
Royal blue touches in the lobby add elegance to the surrounding earthy tones. Light ivory marble and auburn wood give definitive character, particularly within intricate arabesque panelling that embellish this glowing scene. Everything has been carefully selected, down to the speckled dinnerware and china with its raw edges that artfully accent your meals.
El Gouna’s natural beauty attracts visitors all year round, so it’s no surprise that The Steigenberger Golf Resort’s renovations conceptualised an emphasise on this unique nature. The main pool, which is now heated, is lined in earthy tiles for a relaxing experience of pristine colour and texture.
With harmonious designs in mind, the shops and luxury boutiques corner has been completely renewed for a fun and fanciful boho style shopping experience and uplifting beauty salon treatments.
Space Smart
Beauty meets efficiency here with a more expansive outdoor area as guests pass the lobby. Extended by relocating palms and other obstructions, guests can now enjoy an enviable open view of the main pool, green bar and the incredible winding lagoons beyond for a picturesque lounge.
All ground floor deluxe rooms and suites have also been modified, facilitating direct access to the Golf pool. With built-in marble seats framing the cosy pool bar centrepiece, a refreshing dip paired with your drink is now quite literally footsteps away from your stay!
Dining Delights
Nature rules the new dining concept at The Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna, from the ethereal light generously gracing Fairways-the resort’s main restaurant- with its teak wooden furniture and sandy marble stations. The main restaurant serves a rich buffet of tempting breakfast and dinner options. This spacious setting flaunts freshly prepared seasonal and exotic fruits, tart jams and compotes, refreshing juices, delicate pastries, premium international charcuterie and cheese boards and live waffle, pancake and egg preference stations. Treating guests to 5-star services, chefs prepare warm dining options such as sausages, baked potatoes and tasty Egyptian staples for a pampering no-self-serve experience. An a la carte lunch menu is also available.
The Lagoon Terrace a la carte menu features exquisite specialties such as the Crème of Wild Mushroom Soup decked in delicate carpaccio of chateaubriand with wild chocolate. Or how about a vegan take on the classic burger with their sweet potato red bean burger?

Delectably sophisticated, the renovations now host Harumaki: our town’s newest addition to El Gouna’s illustrious gastronomic portfolio. This superb Japanese restaurant is the only venue where you can enjoy a tantalising Teppanyaki menu and enticing sushi for authentic Japanese flavours to excite every palate. Settle the bet between the hottest nigiri and the crunchiest tempura or dive into their signature Steigenberger Dreams, a heavenly flavoursome festival of crab, shrimp tempura shrimp, avocado, smoked salmon and cream cheese.

The aptly named Hole 19 is the place to be for upscale cocktails and thirst-quenching mixes. Climb the stairs to the top for unparalleled views of the stretching golf plains with your favourite drink in hand- the perfect spot for your post golfing aperitivo.
To cater to the active golfers’ clientele, The Green Bar menu has also been perfected with new tasty and fresh options ranging from a light Bocadillo to more hearty dishes like the Curry Sausages or tacos.
In room dining has undergone an environmentally sustainable makeover with greener packaging and assortments. Enjoy the updated special room service menu for a private meal from the comfort of your stay.
Green Clientele
As a dear hospitality venue since the early beginnings of our gorgeous town, The Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna is keen to uphold our mission to protect and preserve the environment without compromising on quality.
The reopened hotel hosts sensors across all rooms and private domains to ensure lights, ACs and unused devices switch off once guests leave their premises.
Britta water filtration systems are also exclusively used to supply guests and potable services with clean, tasty and environmentally friendly drinks for guilt free delicious beverages!
Inspired by its location and heritage, golf is woven into the fabric of The Steigenberger since its beginnings. The hotel has always been a frequented favourite for golfers and this active community of golf aficionados have certainly been at the heart of the renovation concepts. With its scenic award-winning course, over 1.5 acres of evergreen plains and year-round optimal weather conditions mean lovers of this luxury sport are at the resort from at least 4 to 10. So naturally, greener hospitality features are at the heart of the renovation concepts.
Accessible and Tech Friendly Comfort
One of the most anticipated features sure to exude comfort and efficiency in guests’ experience boasts a list of tech-smart amenities across the entire resort. From the very moment of arrival, guests are met with automatic auburn wooden doors that maintain their original beauty while allowing a stress-free entrance to the lobby. Golf cars facilitate the check-in process for a relaxed hospitable experience where guests cruise along the resort.
All rooms are fitted with touchscreen panels in multiple languages, making it easier for diversely capable guests to control and adjust their preferences, even from the comfort of their bedside tables.
