Five Malaga establishments are recognized in the Michelin Guide for hotels

The Fonda Heritage Hotel, Relais & Châteaux, a boutique establishment located in the historic center of Marbella, has been added to the list of distinguished hotels in Málaga with a Michelin Key. This is the main new feature for the province announced in the second edition of the hotel version of the Michelin Guide, which has been made public by the organization. The guide continues to include four other hotels from Málaga, while the Nobu Hotel Marbella, located in the city's Golden Mile, has lost its distinction.

The list is topped by an accommodation in that same area, the Marbella Club Hotel, which was opened in 1954 by Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, and which consolidates its presence with Two Michelin Keys, becoming the only hotel in Andalusia to reach the second level of these accolades. At the same level, there are only twelve more establishments in Spain, four of them in Mallorca, two in Madrid, another two in Galicia, and the remaining four spread between Barcelona, Huesca, Guipúzcoa, and Valencia. Above them, with Three Michelin Stars, there are only five Spanish hotels, four in inland provinces and one in the mountains of Tarragona.

In the list of Málaga hotels distinguished with a Michelin Key, besides La Fonda Heritage Hotel, Relais & Châteaux, there are also the Marbella-based Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort; Finca Cortesín, in Casares; and La Zambra Resort, in Mijas. La Fonda is the only Málaga hotel newly included in the prestigious list, and one of the eleven new additions in Spain, which has increased from 80 to 91 establishments recognized for their service, experience, and uniqueness.
