Club Golden 5 is one of seven hotels forming the Golden 5 City complex in Hurghada, on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, managed by Princess Egypt Hotels. Guests here can use the facilities of every hotel in the complex, with a shuttle bus connecting them all, effectively multiplying the resort’s pools, restaurants and entertainment options well beyond a single hotel’s footprint.

Dining at Club Golden 5 covers the standard buffet format, with the wider complex’s restaurants also accessible via the inter-hotel shuttle, giving guests considerably more variety than a single hotel’s restaurant roster.
