CELEBRATING LEGACY, ELEVATING EVERY OCCASION

Our Steigenberger story began in 1930 with one family, one hotel and one vision.

The story of Albert Steigenberger, the visionary son of a textile merchant, is at the core of our brand. Steigenberger hotels pay homage to the modernist aesthetic sensibilities of Steigenberger’s time, while also honoring the founder’s passion for innovation and his insistence on exemplary service. Steeped in tradition and crafted with meticulous care, Steigenberger hotels reflect the legacy of a man who transformed a small family enterprise into a symbol of excellence.

Steigenberger hotels foster a sense of occasion. Across the globe, these prestige hotels have been meeting places for world leaders, intellectuals and great artists.

The Steigenberger atmosphere encourages connection and meaningful exchange. Today, this essence of convergence is characterized not just by superb architecture in prime locations, but by genuine service, excellent meeting facilities and the seamless integration of technology. This spirit of occasion and exchange remains at the core of Steigenberger, across Icons and Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts.
