The hype
Visually stunning and incredibly stylish, but the service doesn't yet match the 5-star GL price tag.
Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella by IHG
$370-550/ nuit
Réservez si You want the freshest design in Marbella and a beach club scene without the Puerto Banús chaos.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Brand new renovation (opened Feb 2025) with stunning terracotta & Andalusian aesthetics
- Legendary 'Social Hour' with free wine every evening
- Access to the reimagined La Cabane Beach Club by Dolce & Gabbana
En bref : A gorgeous visual rebrand that's still working out significant service kinks and soundproofing issues.
Évalué par @gregkiep: I was blown away by the personal touches here. Finding a handwritten note and champagne upon arrival made me feel like a total VIP. The suite is massive, the gym is actually usable, and lounging by the pool was the perfect reset. Highly recommend for a solo escape.
