When Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella originally opened in 1962, it set a benchmark in exceptional hospitality on the Costa del Sol, becoming the first hotel in Spain to receive a Michelin Star.
Now, following an extensive renovation, the luxury lifestyle brand has reimagined its legacy, blending historic grandeur with contemporary, laid-back luxury to offer guests memorable dining, wellness, and design experiences.
The hotel is located in Marbella’s most exclusive enclave just 500 metres from the Mediterranean
Located in Marbella’s most exclusive enclave just 500 metres from the Mediterranean, the resort features 195 elegantly designed rooms, including 60 suites, many with private terraces and sea views.

The guest rooms, designed by the renowned Cristina Carulla Studio, feature natural materials and vivid colour accents, capturing the essence of the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle while offering stunning views of the sea.
