Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel

Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel details

This well established hotel in upmarket Marbella certainly deserves its ‘Grand Deluxe’ tag.

The Gran Meliá Don Pepe is one of just a handful of Spanish hotels bearing the coveted Grand Deluxe rating. And when you consider what’s on offer here, it will come as no surprise. For a start, there’s its fantastic beachfront location. It’s just steps away from a long swathe of sand, and behind you’ve got a dramatic mountainous backdrop. Then consider the fact it sits pretty in six acres of gardens and has seriously smart swimming pools framed by Balinese daybeds. All this just a mile from the centre of classy Marbella.

Inside, huge chandeliers and lots of greenery catch the eye in the marble-floored lobby. Dark chocolate armchairs with plump creamy coloured cushions are dotted around calm lounges.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are warmly decorated in shades of coffee and cream. And they come with extras like minibars, bathrobes and satellite TVs. If you really want to spoil yourself, upgrade to a Red Level room. Spread throughout the hotel, these special rooms and suites are as indulgent as they come. As well as a dedicated concierge desk, you can look forward to extras like scent menus, fresh flowers and Nespresso coffee machines.

Alongside all this you’ve got some impressive dining choices. As well as international dishes, you can enjoy local seafood and traditional Andalucian fare. Breakfast is a lavish buffet affair, and after that you’ve got a la carte options, a grill restaurant, and a poolside restaurant in summer.

Last but not least, if you’re a golfer, why not take advantage of special rates at a number of local golf courses.
