An iconic name in European hospitality has returned: the Steigenberger Icon Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden has officially reopened its doors on 14 August following an extensive renovation, restoring its historic grandeur while embracing refined modernity.
Situated in the heart of Baden-Baden, Europe’s most celebrated spa destination at the edge of the Black Forest, the hotel perfectly balances its rich heritage with contemporary sophistication. As the founding property of the Steigenberger brand, the Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden holds a unique symbolic importance, and now, 95 years after its original debut, it redefines cultivated luxury and sets new benchmarks in elegant hospitality.
“The Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden stands for a harmonious connection of rich history and modern sophistication. A place where guests experience a unique symbiosis of historic grandeur, contemporary luxury and exceptional service,” says General Manager Holger Flory.
The hotel features 126 individually designed rooms, suites and apartments, all offering discreet luxury and exceptional comfort. Each space reflects meticulous craftsmanship, with fine materials, bespoke furnishings, and a nature-inspired colour palette seamlessly integrated into the hotel’s timeless architecture. The redesign has been driven by the ambition to preserve the property’s historical character while translating it into a contemporary context.
“My team and I look forward to shaping the future of this iconic place together with our guests. The hotel offers space for exclusive events, excellent gastronomy, first-class spa experiences and hospitality lived at the highest level,” Holger Flory continues.
Positioning itself as an exclusive retreat, the Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden offers a unique environment where culture, gastronomy, and social life converge. Guests can indulge in a refined culinary journey featuring French and European-inspired cuisine enriched with regional influences. The stylish Auerhuhn Lounge Bar invites intimate conversations within a sophisticated speakeasy atmosphere, while the Luiza Rooftop Terrace & Bar serves Mediterranean flavours, inventive cocktails, and boasts a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view over Baden-Baden.
For wellness enthusiasts, the 1,300-square-metre The Vault Spa & Suites provides an extraordinary sanctuary inspired by the city’s Roman bathing heritage. Located partly within the former vault rooms of a historic bank, the spa offers exclusive relaxation spaces across two levels, including multiple saunas, a steam room, an indoor pool, fitness areas, private spa suites, and bespoke treatments tailored to individual wellbeing.
Business travellers and event planners are equally catered for with five multifunctional event spaces equipped with cutting-edge conference technology, providing an ideal setting for high-profile meetings, receptions, and private events.
Complementing the hotel’s experience, guests can explore 700 square metres of curated retail space, featuring Germany’s first Porsche Studio. Here, automobile enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the Porsche brand universe and personally configure their dream vehicle.
Located near Baden-Baden’s renowned spa gardens, theatres, museums, and iconic casino, the Steigenberger Icon Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden offers more than just luxury accommodation—it is an invitation to discover the timeless soul of Baden-Baden, blending elegance, culture, and relaxation in perfect harmony.
