China Crown will open its first restaurant outside Madrid in the Don Pepe Hotel in Marbella.

Madrid / Málaga/ The China Crown group is expanding across Spain with its launch this summer in the province of Málaga. Specifically, with its China Crown restaurant in the historic Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá in Marbella, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this 2025.

Specifically, the restaurant chain arrives in June at the Marbella hotel during the summer season with a China Crown branded space, offering its imperial Chinese cuisine that has been established in Madrid for years.

The arrival of the brand in Marbella marks the expansion of this concept, born in Madrid in 1981, beyond the capital, offering an experience based on imperial Chinese cuisine during this summer season.

In this way, the group, founded in 2017, grows nationally with this upcoming opening surpassing 20 restaurants among the seven brands it owns, such as China Crown, Shanghai Mama, Gran Café Shanghai, Sushi Bar Tottori, Bao Li, Lelong Asian Club, Indochina Brasa, and Kaito Hand Roll Bar.

The restaurant will have an indoor area of 103 square meters with a capacity for 62 diners, and 109 square meters of outdoor space with capacity for 47 diners.

With this opening, the China Crown group continues its growth plan in strategic locations, positioning itself in a city like Marbella, which offers international projection and an audience that is constantly seeking new and exclusive experiences. The China Crown Marbella space, designed by the interior design and architecture firm Marisa Gallo, will maintain the understated elegance that defines the brand, with strategically placed furniture, differentiated areas for more formal meals or groups, and carefully studied lighting to enhance the sensory experience of the cuisine.
