Marbella is well and truly back as a chic destination for the stylish traveller; especially with this year’s opening of the Nobu Hotel Marbella. Now there?s really no excuse not to visit, writes Andrew Forbes.

Nobu Hotel Marbella, the first Nobu property on the Spanish mainland, is entering its first summer season, building on the unprecedented success of Nobu Restaurant Marbella which opened last year.

The hotel is found on the prestigious Puente Romano beachside property, on Marbella?s famous Golden Mile, at the epicentre of the resort?s chic restaurants, bar and club scene.
The hotel brings Nobu?s unique SoCal-meets-Asia aesthetic to Southern Spain; and it couldn?t be more at home in the brilliant sunshine of the Mediterranean.

Nobu was co-founded by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa (the chef behind the Nobu restaurants, of course), together with Robert De Niro and Meir Teper. Check-In
The lobby & check-in area is of rich warm tropical woods, evocative of an upscale Japanese ryokan. Expect to be greeted with a welcome drink and chilled face towel, whilst your cases are taken to your room.
Guests have access to the swish ?Owner?s Club?; the new members-only club for the chic Marbella-set.
