Staying at Hotel Claude Marbella felt like stepping into a little hidden gem in the heart of the Old Town. From the very first moment, the staff made us feel so welcome and cared for, waiting for us with a smile (and a drink), even though we arrived after midnight. They had already arranged our transfer from Málaga airport, so our driver was waiting for us when we landed, which was such a relief after a late flight! The hotel itself is full of soul, as it is a beautifully restored 17th century building. It is located right in Marbella Old Town, with Plaza Santo Cristo just around the corner (so the location honestly couldn’t be better). The lobby is cozy, with a library, a fireplace and beautiful modern artwork created exclusively for the hotel. We also loved the honesty bar concept. Each room is inspired by a different region of Spain. Our room, Marismas, was stunning. Everything, from the colours to the furniture, reflected the flora and fauna of the Marismas ecosystem, found in Doñana National Park, in the small village of El Rocio (loved the fact that the bathroom door had details of the inspiration). The room exceeded our expectations, from the comfy bed and complimentary minibar, to unique touches like exfoliating body pads and pyjamas for each guest, and even modern accents like touchscreen panels by the bed to control lights and curtains. Another highlight was the housekeeping – twice a day!!! Breakfast on the amazing terrace was excellent and included coffee, juices, fresh fruit platters, pastries, yogurt and a variety of toasts (we tried most of them and they were all delicious). The staff was always ready with recommendations on where to eat, what to see, and what to do in Marbella and beyond. The manager even came by at breakfast to ask us personally how our stay was going and if there was anything to improve – which honestly made us feel truly valued as guests. But the truth is, we had nothing but praise. We left with wonderful memories and with the certainty that this is where we’ll return whenever we come back to Marbella.
