Marbella Club Hotel - Golf Resort
& Spa, Marbella, Spain
Location:
The Marbella Club Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa is a small paradise enclave
of its own at the Spanish Costa del Sol - with 325 days of sunshine per
year it deserves its name. Next to the own tropical garden it has its own
access to the beach. The hotel beach itself gets its annual new shiny sand
makeup from Cadiz – a luxury and a real treat. Known as a jet set hot spot
you can even arrive in your own boat at the hotel’s pier. The Marbella
Club Hotel is just 30 minutes walk away from the Old Town Marbella – just
follow the beach to the East. By car it will take you a bit more than 5
minutes. From the airport of Malaga on the motorway towards Cadiz it takes
you about 30 minutes drive by car, taxi or hotel limousine service – self
drivers take motorway exit 182 Naguelles, around the roundabout over the
motorway bridge and straight on until you reach the main road and then
right onto the main road and the Hotel is on the left after about a mile’s
drive.
History:
Finding the Marbella Club Hotel, when you come to Marbella, is easy as
the street where the hotel is situated is named after its founder: Bulevar
Principe Alfonso von Hohenlohe. Prince Alfonso and his father Prince Max
von Hohenlohe, who were living in Madrid at the time, first came to Marbella
in 1946, when it still was a small fishing village. En route to visit an
uncle they drove down in their Rolls Royce. They were so enchanted by the
beauty of the area that they bought the ground of the current Marbella
Club and first converted it to their private residence. According to the
Almanach
De Gotha, the Hohenlohe family originally comes from Baden-Wuerttemberg
in Southern Germany, the Spanish connection was made when Prince Max married
into the Spanish aristocracy and started living in Madrid. Due to an increasing
number of famous house guests, Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe converted the
family residence into an exclusive Hotel with 8 rooms starting in 1954.
Sadly, Prince Alfonso passed away in 2003, one year too early to witness
the 50th anniversary of the Marbella Club in 2004.
Rooms,
Suites and Villas: These days, you can still see the oil painting of
Prince Alfonso in the Salon Prince Alfonso, where traditional English Afternoon
Tea is served in the afternoon. The number of rooms has grown to 121 bedrooms
and suites, some of them with sea view, which spread over the whole estate,
still leaving plenty of space for privacy and subtropical gardens, of which
many plants were collected by Prince Alfonso himself. There are also 16
Andalusian-style villas with up to 5 double bedrooms throughout the estate,
many of them with their own private garden and heated pool for privacy
with all hotel services provided. These can be used for families, larger
parties or even very exclusive business meetings with the amenities of
a 24-hours room service. Champagne breakfast is served from eight to eleven
o’clock in the morning in the Winter Garden Restaurant and outside on the
terrace or you can have a private breakfast in your room, suite or villa.
There will be also fresh fruits waiting for you in your room as well as
a bottle of the privately grown red wine of the late Prince Alfonso which
also bears his name.
Restaurants
and Bars: Also for the restaurant the obvious wine choice is the Prince
Alfonso wine from his estate situated in the the hinterland of Marbella,
where he retreated for his retirement. Apart from the Salon Prince Alfonso
for afternoon tea, the Grill Restaurant, with its summer terrace in the
middle of the estate, there is the central restaurant for dinner with Mediterranean
cuisine. The Spanish chef Juan Galvez has been around since 2001 and knows
how to serve and spoil his demanding customers. The Piano Bar is the place
to be go for a last drink with life piano music every evening and if the
weather should be well below the annual average temperature of 23 degrees
centigrade, there is a fireplace in the Winter Bar to make the whole place
cosy. For lunch, the ideal place is the Beach Club Restaurant, the poolside
Snack Bar or the Chiringuito restaurant, which boasts a huge variety of
fresh fish in the high season. Last, but not least, there is the tendy
MC Café with contemporary European Asian Fusion cuisine, the place
where you will also see many stylish Marbella shoppers taking a break from
their shopping spree.
Sport
and Spa: There are two heated outdoor swimming pools and the quests
can also stroll down to the well kept beach. One of the swimming pools
is in the middle of the Marbella Club estate and the other one is placed
at the seaside only a stone throw away from the beach. There is also a
smaller indoor pool with warm sea water, which is part of the 800 square
metres exclusive Thalasso Spa centre, which also offers osmanic hammans,
saunas, a solarium and 12 treatment rooms. Tennis can be played at the
sister hotel Puente Romano, which belongs to the same private owner and
is about 5 minutes beach walk away to the West. The exclusive Marbella
Club Golf Resort and Riding Stables are a bit further away, however, there
is a complementary shuttle service. The golf club is available for guests
and property owners, therefore, never crowded. And if your handicap should
not be enough to qualify to play, the resident golf pro Gary Vautier will
be available to join you for a supervised round of golf, which will be
of help improving your handicap. If this should still be not enough for
you, there are nearly 30 other golf courses around within an hours car
drive, as well as the opportunity to shoot clay pigeons or play polo.
