The Hotel Los Monteros Reopens

The iconic Hotel Los Monteros in Marbella has just reopened its doors after expanding and renovating its facilities under the luxury Kimpton brand, which is part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts luxury portfolio. It is an establishment that was inaugurated in 1962 and has gone through various difficulties until the appearance of its new owners.

The new Kimpton Los Monteros opens its doors after an extensive renovation that has merged its historic grandeur with contemporary luxury and a relaxed atmosphere. 

It features 195 elegantly designed rooms, including 60 suites, most with spacious terraces and sea views.

The transformation into Kimpton Los Monteros, which combines historical and contemporary elements, was overseen by the award-winning Barcelona studio El Equipo Creativo.

In the rooms, designed by the Estudio Cristina Carulla, natural materials are combined with vibrant colors, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

The hotel boasts gardens, versatile spaces and lounges, as well as a large hall with a capacity for 250 guests, a panoramic rooftop, and an exclusive beach club.

Guests will enjoy benefits such as Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service, Kimpton Social Hour, the "Forgot it? We've Got it!" program, yoga mats in the rooms, and pet-friendly policies.

"We bring a fresh and vibrant energy, merging the legacy of Los Monteros with the unique essence of Kimpton, celebrating our local culture and cuisine, and offering exclusive experiences," said Merry Antoja, the hotel's general manager.

On the gastronomic front, the hotel features the award-winning Michelin star chef José Carlos García, who will lead the culinary offerings of the entire resort as Executive Chef.

Among the various gastronomic options available at the hotel, guests and visitors can enjoy a restaurant, a rooftop, a lounge bar, a pool bar, and a beach club.

Room prices start from 340 euros per night.

More than 60 years

Los Monteros was inaugurated in 1962 as one of the first five-star hotels in the city. Its restaurant El Corzo achieved the first Michelin star for Marbella.

The hotel has faced various economic problems, although in 2010 the purchase by Moroccan businessman Judas Azuelos allowed it to recover and avoid disappearance.

However, Azuelos's death in July 2021 revived old fears, until finally, at the beginning of 2022, the purchase by the Swiss fund Bain Capital Credit and Stoneweg Hospitality was announced.

They invested 47 million euros in this group, which shortly before had acquired the Andalucía Plaza, managed until then by H10, now transformed into a Hard Rock, also after a renovation.

Now Los Monteros is regaining strength under the Kimpton brand of IHG Hotels & Resorts.
