This Hotel played a pivotal role in Marbella’s development.

Marbella is home to several five-star hotels, each with cutting-edge amenities. The emblematic Marbella Club Hotel, is a mediterranean beachfront paradise with true Andalusia spirit, a history that rivals any of the others. It is one of the most excellent hotels in Marbella and has played an essential role in the city’s development over the last 60 years. Many of the town’s high-society citizens now enjoy the hotel’s luxurious spa and gourmet dining options. What’s the catch? More than fifty years of history of catering to the needs of the affluent and famous the Hotel has endured time by poignantly blending heritage and innovation whilst retaining its original charm.

The Origins.

One aristocrat’s caprices shaped the course of Marbella’s history. Upon hearing about the Marbella region, the eccentric and somewhat romantic Marquis Ricardo Soriano fell in love with the concept of a retreat in the sun. He purchased a prime beachfront Finca 4 km west of Marbella old town without setting foot on the land. In 1946 he inspired his cousin, Prince Maximilian, to see the Mediterranean for themselves. The following year, his son, Prince Alfonso, came to purchase a vacation home for the royal family. On this privileged position right on the seafront in Marbella and at the heart of the Golden Mile, the Hotel opened to the public 5 years later with just 20 bedrooms and quickly became popular among European royalty and aristocrats. This emblematic establishment further consolidated this status when Puerto Banús opened in 1970. Later it would become a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and of Relais and Chateaux.

However, Alfonso’s plans for the property included much more than simply a quiet haven for his family to relax. The enterprising prince was inspired by hotels he had been in on his trips around the United States, and he was buoyed by the excitement of his visiting family and friends to turn the finca into a hotel. In 1954, this legendary address with its emblematic palapa and pier welcomed its first guests inside the renovated farmhouse’s main building, which had 20 guest rooms, a dining area, and a bar.

When everything feels just right…‘Elegant simplicity – it is the Marbella Club philosophy. It is our way of life.’ – Prince Alfonso.

In 1957, Alfonso engaged his cousin Count Rudi, a seasoned hotelier, to be an Assistant Manager of the Marbella Club hotel so that together they could transform it into a luxurious elegant playground with cosy corners, roaring fires, intimate terraces and walls that whisper of an illustrious past come together with unrivaled comfort, all unmistakably Andalusian for the wealthy. The unique blend of new and traditional under one roof lends itself perfectly to our special blend of intimate hospitality, where classic values and a genuine spirit of spontaneity contagiously collide and will make your stay in Marbella a memorable one.

The most glamorous Hotel in  Marbella.

The hotel flourished under his management, attracting guests such as Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot in addition to members of Europe’s royal and aristocratic families. In 1970, with the opening of Puerto Banus, Marbella Club was fully established with guest rooms, suites (the Imperial Suite boasts Mediterranean views), villas, whitewashed bungalows running down a driveway to the ocean as a trendy destination for the international jet set.
