PB hotel design editorial

El Gouna itself is the starting point for understanding The Chedi El Gouna — a private resort town on Egypt's Red Sea coast that was conceived from scratch by Egyptian developer Samih Sawiris in the early 1990s, its low-rise architecture drawing on Nubian and Upper Egyptian vernacular forms to create something that felt rooted rather than imported. The Chedi arrived within that framework as GHM's contribution to the destination, its campus of warm terracotta and sandy ochre volumes spreading across a lagoon-fronting site in a language that echoes the town's own architectural DNA: flat roofs edged with crenellated parapets, domed pavilions, arched colonnades, and date palms threaded through the compound in patterns that soften the boundary between building and garden. The interiors take a sharper, more contemporary line than the exterior might suggest. Guestrooms are finished in pale limestone tile and cream plaster, furnished with linen-upholstered beds, circular walnut side tables, and tripod-legged floor lamps — a restrained Scandi-inflected vocabulary that lets the vintage black-and-white photography of Egyptian landscapes, camels, and pyramid building do the atmospheric work on the walls. The rooftop restaurant pushes further still: timber columns wrapped in warm-toned cladding support a canvas pergola structure over rope-woven armchairs and polished concrete floors, the whole terrace calibrated to perform at dusk, when the Red Sea dissolves into a darkening horizon beyond the balustrade.

The Chedi El Gouna Reviews

"Here’s the updated review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been lucky enough to have massages all over the world, so I know when someone is truly exceptional — and Sama is exactly that. I had the signature massage at the beautiful Chedi Spa in El Gouna, Egypt, which began with a steam and an exfoliation that left my skin wonderfully silky — before Sama had even begun the massage itself. Her technique is outstanding, but what sets her apart is something that simply can’t be taught: genuine empathy, an extraordinary intuition, and the ability to locate problem areas without you having to say a word. That is a gift, not a skill, but sales has that too. I came to her with a shoulder issue following a broken arm, and she helped me regain movement I hadn’t had for some time. I was so impressed I immediately booked a second session — and my daughter and husband both had massages with her too. That says everything. Sama has a warm, lovely personality that puts you completely at ease, and her ability is among the very best I have ever experienced."

The rooms are beautifully designed, the service is attentive and professional, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The beachfront and pools are stunning, making it an ideal place to unwind. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway."

"Nice beachside Hotel, everything looks like on the photos. But some areas could use some touch up. Service is good but not up with the standards of a five star hotel excluding the boys at the pool-/beachside and the service staff for the Beach Bar. They did an excellent job. The restaurants were disappointing, the Japanese Restaurant is not a Japanese Restaurant more a Restaurant with an Asian Touch. That was ratheter disappointing. The food in the main Restaurant ist good, some days buffet style and some days à la Carte but a bit repetitive even with changing themes. THe barbeque night was very disappointing as the meat was overcooked. For a one of the Leading Hotels of the world I have to say that the Standards are not quite there and there is some work to do."
