H World Group Limited has announced the reopening of the Steigenberger Icon Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden after extensive renovations. This historic hotel, founded in 1930 and the birthplace of the Steigenberger brand, marks a milestone in H World Group’s ongoing mission to preserve and revitalize heritage assets within its global portfolio.
The reopening represents a defining moment since H World Group’s 2021 acquisition of Deutsche Hospitality (now H World International), exemplifying the successful integration of a renowned European brand into a leading global hospitality platform.
As a hotel with nearly a century of history, the Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden embodies the spirit of German hospitality tradition. Located in the heart of Baden-Baden, Europe’s famed spa town at the foot of the Black Forest, the hotel combines historic substance with contemporary elegance.
Following the renovation, the Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden features 126 individually designed rooms, suites and apartments. The redesign was guided by the ambition to preserve the historic character of the property. The hotel offers a refined blend of culture, gastronomy, wellness and business facilities. Guests can savor French- and European-inspired cuisine with regional flair at Café de l’Europe, enjoy an intimate speakeasy atmosphere at the Auerhuhn Lounge Bar and take in panoramic city views with Mediterranean dishes and signature cocktails at the Luiza Rooftop Terrace & Bar.
Wellness seekers will find a 13,990-square-foot space at The Vault Spa & Suites, inspired by Baden-Baden’s Roman bathing tradition. Spread over two levels, it features saunas, a steam room, an indoor pool, fitness facilities, private spa suites and personalized treatments—some set in the former vault rooms of a historic bank.
For business and events, the hotel offers five multifunctional rooms equipped with the latest conferencing technology, ideal for high-end meetings and receptions. The experience is rounded off with more than 7,530 square feet of curated retail space, including Germany’s first Porsche Studio, where visitors can explore the brand and customize their dream car.
