There’s no doubt that when it comes to luxury hotels near Marbella with an unusual designer edge, Crowne Plaza Hotel is a serious contender. The hotel offers Sedatio Luxury Spa, L'Attitude Chill Out Pool Bar, La Estanza cocktail bar and restaurants: Tesela and Shanghai Express. This 5 star hotel’s innovative architecture, reminiscent of the top-end cruise liners that visit the nearby port of Malaga, is luxury accommodation with a difference.
Situated to the west end of Estepona and just 5 minutes from Puerto Banus and 10 from the busy beach resort of Marbella, Crowne Plaza Hotel has a beachfront location. Perhaps aptly so because the building with its white curves at both ends and predominance of steel finishings imitates an ocean liner. The sea-faring element is accentuated by the elongated pool which runs parallel to the luxury’s hotel seafront (or starboard side).
Crowne Plaza Hotel has 146 rooms, 32 junior suites and six duplex penthouse suites, named after Greek Gods including Poseidon – again, aptly since the ocean is just next door – Eros and Morpheus. The height of this luxury accommodation option on the Costa del Sol is the Presidential Suite complete with private pool on its rooftop terrace. All rooms have sea and/or garden views – those on the upper floors obviously have the best.
Interiors at Crowne Plaza Hotel leave the ocean theme behind, but are in keeping with the hotel’s modern exterior. Rooms are decorated in mainly neutral tones with brown, sand and stone dominating. And in keeping with Crowne Plaza Hotel’s luxury standing, this five star hotel in Andalucía also has a large spa area offering numerous treatments and pools including one with direct views out to the hotel’s gardens.
If you’re looking for a boutique hotel on the Costa del Sol or classic surroundings, Crowne Plaza Hotel isn’t the best choice. But those guests in search of ultra-modern luxury would do well to take a look at this hotel.
