Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella, the latest addition to IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has officially opened its doors, bringing a new level of hospitality to Spain’s Costa del Sol.
Located just 500 meters from the Mediterranean, this reimagined luxury retreat blends historic grandeur with contemporary elegance, offering an unforgettable experience in one of Marbella’s most exclusive enclaves.
The transformation of the legendary Los Monteros hotel, originally opened in 1962, has been meticulously designed by El Equipo Creativo, the award-winning Barcelona-based interior design studio. The 195-room resort, which includes 60 suites with private terraces and sea views, integrates geometric patterns, terracotta tiles, and organic curves, evoking Marbella’s rich cultural heritage.
However, beyond its refined design and five-star hospitality, Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella holds a secret that will delight food lovers—a Michelin-starred dining experience at the hands of Executive Chef José Carlos García.
Michelin-Starred Flavors and Culinary Excellence
The hotel’s gastronomic offerings set it apart as a true paradise for food lovers. At the heart of the resort’s culinary scene is Michelin-starred Executive Chef José Carlos García, known for his acclaimed José Carlos García Málaga restaurant. Under his guidance, Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella has created a world-class dining experience that combines elevated Mediterranean cuisine, bold Mexican flavors, and expertly crafted cocktails.
Guests can embark on a culinary journey across four unique venues:
- Jara Restaurant – A sophisticated take on Mediterranean cuisine, featuring wild sea bass cooked in a salt crust and roasted turbot with green beans from the hotel’s own garden.
- Escondido Rooftop – A vibrant rooftop destination serving Mexican flavors, an infinity pool, and signature cocktails perfect for watching the sun set over the Mediterranean.
- Azul Lounge Bar – A beloved Marbella classic, transitioning from morning specialty coffees to evening handcrafted cocktails with live music.
- Costa Club Pool Bar – A laid-back, chic social hub offering Mediterranean-inspired light bites and cocktails.
Luxury, Wellness, and Exclusive Experiences
Beyond its culinary excellence, Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella is a haven for luxury, wellness, and exclusive experiences. Guests can unwind at the Maison CODAGE Spa, which boasts a hydrotherapy circuit, daily yoga sessions, and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. The hotel also provides access to Marbella’s top golf courses and the prestigious Racket Club, featuring tennis and paddle courts.
For those looking to indulge in Marbella’s iconic beach lifestyle, the hotel is steps away from the La Cabane Dolce & Gabbana Beach Club, a go-to spot for jet-set travelers seeking luxury, relaxation, and vibrant social experiences.
An Iconic Hotel Reborn
With 195 elegantly designed rooms, a Michelin-starred chef, and exclusive access to some of Marbella’s finest experiences, Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella is poised to become one of Spain’s premier luxury resorts. Rooms start at €340 per night, and IHG One Rewards members can book stays directly via the IHG One Rewards mobile app.
