El Fuerte, originally built in 1957 is an iconic landmark hotel in the heart of Marbella. Recently upgraded to a five-star the El Fuerte seamlessly blends casual luxury with an exclusive and inviting atmosphere.
In its transformation to a modern luxury hotel the El Fuerte has maintained its air of welcoming charm and relaxation for which it is renowned.
Situated on the beachfront of Marbella’s city centre, it offers breathtaking sea-views along the promenade and across the Mediterranean and is just a five-minute walk from the Plaza de Los Naranjos in the Old Town.
The hotel’s warm Mediterranean character is reflected in its classic interior design that offers guests timeless quality, designed by prestigious Chilean designer Jaime Beriestain’s studio, first-class gastronomy and professional service that puts the finest details first.
Boasting more than 60 years’ experience and history, El Fuerte is one of Marbella’s oldest hotels. Our hotel has been given constant refurbishment and maintenance over the years, evolving to become a renowned 5-star hotel. An array of celebrities and renowned figures have stayed with us during the hotel’s long history, making it a national and global benchmark of style.
El Fuerte Marbella also features the San Luis Castle inside its grounds, a historic location that has been designated as a Cultural Heritage Site.
