Kimpton Los Monteros - New Hotel in Marbella, Spain

A Legendary Address Reimagined in Marbella

Set in the prestigious enclave of Los Monteros, east of Marbella, Kimpton Los Monteros enjoys a privileged position between the Mediterranean Sea, manicured gardens and some of the most exclusive golf courses on the Costa del Sol. The atmosphere is distinctly Andalusian yet effortlessly international, where palm-lined avenues meet soft sea breezes and long days of golden light. Just a short walk from the beach and a few minutes from Marbella’s Old Town, the hotel offers both tranquillity and immediate access to the region’s vibrant social and cultural scene.

Kimpton’s Mediterranean Interpretation of Luxury

Originally opened in 1962, Hotel Los Monteros was one of Marbella’s defining glamour addresses during the golden era of the Costa del Sol, welcoming an international jet-set clientele drawn to its discreet luxury and sun-drenched lifestyle. In 2025, the property begins a new chapter under the Kimpton Hotels & Resorts brand following a €50 million transformation. The concept reinterprets the spirit of old Marbella through a contemporary lens, blending social energy, intuitive hospitality and a residential sense of ease that defines modern luxury travel.

Design Inspired by the Mediterranean Spirit

The architectural and interior transformation is led by Cristina Carulla Studio and El Equipo Creativo, who reimagine the property as a dialogue between Mediterranean heritage and retro Riviera aesthetics. The design celebrates curves, natural textures and warm light, evoking the relaxed sophistication of 1970s Marbella while introducing a refined contemporary sensibility. Terracotta tones, handcrafted ceramics, organic shapes and lush landscaping create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, reinforcing the hotel’s connection to its coastal surroundings.

Rooms & Suites Rooted in Comfort and Light

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella offers approximately 195 rooms and suites, including a significant collection of expansive suites, many featuring private terraces and views over gardens, pools, or the Mediterranean surroundings. Interiors are designed with a residential sensibility, emphasizing comfort, calm, and understated elegance. Rooms are bright and airy, combining natural materials with contemporary design elements to create a serene retreat after sun-drenched days on the Costa del Sol.

Suites elevate the experience further, offering generous layouts ideal for longer stays or family escapes.

Gastronomy, Rooftop Energy & Social Living

Culinary experiences at Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella reflect the vibrant spirit of Andalusia with a modern international twist. The signature restaurant Jara, led by Michelin-starred chef José Carlos García, celebrates refined Spanish cuisine through seasonal produce, elevated seafood dishes and reinterpreted local classics. Escondido, the rooftop bar, brings a more playful energy with Mexican-inspired flavours, mezcal cocktails and panoramic sunset views over Marbella. Throughout the resort, poolside dining, relaxed lounges and social spaces create a fluid gastronomic journey from day to night.

Wellness, Sport & Coastal Lifestyle

Wellbeing is deeply rooted in Mediterranean living, combining relaxation, movement and sensory escape. The Spa by Maison CODAGE offers bespoke treatments, advanced skincare rituals and personalised facial therapies inspired by French cosmetic expertise. Guests also enjoy a heated indoor pool, Technogym fitness facilities, yoga and Pilates sessions, as well as landscaped wellness gardens designed for quiet moments of restoration. Tennis and padel courts add an active dimension, while Marbella’s coastline invites outdoor fitness, beach walks and sea-based activities.
