A legendary address has just reopened this summer in Puerto Banus: the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella, just a stone's throw from the Nueva Andalucia beach.
The tone is set as soon as you enter. This is a hotel that moves, that vibrates to the riffs of the guitars. This is not the place to get bored!
Le vaste lobby évoque l’univers des plus grand stars avec des tenues de Madona, Lady Gaga ou encore Jennifer Lopez ; la veste pourpre portée par Prince lors de sa tournée Purple Rain ; une guitare d’Elvis Presley ou encore une lettre manuscrite de Brian Jones.
Music is everywhere in the hotel.
A musician entertains guests at breakfast.
So much the better, because the buffet is so opulent that you tend to spend an inordinate amount of time there.
Musicians at heart can even borrow a Fender guitar, to let off steam (with headphones) in the room without disturbing the neighbours. The hotel also offers a 'Sound of your Stay' programme to keep you on the beat during your holiday.
Even the spa is rocking with a special 'rhythm & motion' treatment. The massage table is connected and vibrates to the bass, while a suspended bell delivers additional rhythms. Surprising but effective!
Perfect after a day on one of the 70 golf courses in the area. The hotel offers a full range of services for golfers: green bookings, club hire, lessons, etc.
There are also two swimming pools where you can relax before enjoying one of the cocktails on offer in the various bars.
An underground passageway leads to the nearby beach.
The day's holiday can then end as it began: at the Sessions restaurant, with delicious Spanish cuisine and live music.
Unless you want to go the extra mile at the adjoining casino. This is the perfect hotel for having fun, celebrating a birthday or a wedding.
Among the different categories of rooms, studios and suites, the one designed by Jo Gis Art is a real work of art. Jordi Gil Fernandez draws his inspiration from pop and street art: bright colours, little texts... Perhaps a little too psychedelic for a quiet night in, but definitely the perfect place to get a good dose of optimism!
Wow effect guaranteed!

TASTE
For a taste of Andalusian gastronomy away from the clichés and touristy dishes, try Tragabuches, run by chef Dani Garcia, considered to be one of the best chefs in the world. Admittedly, you'll have to take the car or a taxi as the restaurant is on the outskirts of town, but it's well worth the trip.
