Condé Nast Hot List 2026

Character and identity

A 308-room beachfront grande dame on Elviria, the most coveted stretch of the Costa del Sol, reopened after a full Jaime Beriestain refurbishment that reinterprets the original 1969 Hilton bones in mother-of-pearl tones, Andalusian 17th-century references, and Chinese-embroidery wallpapers. The 14-storey tower sits in two hectares of tropical gardens, with multiple pools, an adults-only beach club, and the first Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre in Spain. Dining runs through Los Naranjos (Mudejar-meets-Parisian brasserie), poolside Sol & Sombra, and a Campari by Manero pop-up. The 1,600 square metre Natura Bissé spa anchors the wellness side. Service register is warm and personal rather than starchy.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples and design-literate travellers who want classic Marbella glamour without ostentation, plus tennis enthusiasts drawn to the Nadal academy and spa-goers who value a proper 1,600 sqm Natura Bissé facility. Families work too, given the scale, gardens, and pool count, though the adults-only beach club signals where the mood centres.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting a direct due-south sea view should know the rooms only offer oblique angles to the Mediterranean by original design. Those chasing a buzzy Puerto Banús scene or a compact boutique feel will find this large, gardened resort too quiet and too sprawling.

Bottom line

What defines this stay is the Beriestain reinvention of a genuine Marbella icon: the design, gardens, and Elviria beachfront together justify the price more than any single restaurant or suite does. Book a higher category for the oblique sea view and the marble bathrooms, and time a visit for 2026 if you want to catch the Manero restaurant opening and the new Asian venue in the gardens.
