On November 1, Deutsche Hospitality added the five-star Hotel Coraya Beach in Marsa Alam to its portfolio.

The property was previously known as Iberotel, and is now being operated under the Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts brand.

This brings the group’s total representation in Egypt to eight hotels and three Nile river ships.

Deutsche Hospitality CEO Puneet Chhatwal said in a statement: "The Coraya Beach Resort makes the 'top quality made in Germany' model available in Marsa Alam. Our growing presence in Egypt is enabling us to extend our strong local network."

Marsa Alam is located in the south of the country directly on the Red Sea coast. The hotel offers guests the option of sunbathing on a private beach or using one of three swimming pools. The bay in which the Coraya Beach Resort is set also offers coral reefs accessible from the beach, with the option to go snorkelling.

The property is located 10km away from the airport, and offers 354 rooms and suites along with extensive gardens.
