Rooms at this luxury boutique hotel all include terracotta floors, sandstone baths and fine fabrics. All have a different theme, exclusive furniture and a bathroom with Molton Brown toiletries, a bathrobe and slippers.

Excellent luxury hotel in the heart of the Marbella old town. Beautifully renovated to retain architectural character and charm but with the latest modern touches. The reception area is light and spacious, with a library / bar room on the ground floor offering drinks and books to relax. There are only 7 rooms at the hotel, all themed based on regions of Spain. We had the Almeria room, it was stunningly decorated, spotlessly clean, with incredible bed linen and a hot spec luxury bathroom. Even the towels were high quality. Breakfast was enjoyed on the rooftop, with a full selection of cold and cooked to order toast with toppings. The hotel staff were amazing, always attentive and happy to help with any request you could need. Special shout out to all of the staff who made our stay special. We will for sure be back next time we are in town.

Set 550 metres from Marbella Beach, Apartamentos Guadalpin Boutique offers modern, air-conditioned apartments with private terraces and a shared seasonal outdoor swimming pool with solarium and sun beds.

Great location. 2 bedrooms with living and dining room and small kitchen with coffee maker and toaster. Hot tub on terrace with lounge chairs and amazing views. Daily cleaning included. Concierge was very helpful. We were going to pay for the underground parking but he told us to there was plenty of parking at the front of the building that was free so we did not have to pay. Provided toiletries and plenty of hotels. This was better than booking an apartment on Air BNB. Strongly recommend to anyone staying in Marbella. Better than a hotel and 5 min walk to the beaches and all the wonderful restaurant. Center was only 20 min walk along the board walk.

    The location, the cool modern style of the interior design, the parking. The street right on the edge of the old town is a picture postcard tourist street, but still very local with lots of bustling activity and great restaurants. A foodies dream. But between eating, the apartment is a classy and tasteful place to rest.

    Service & Staff were exceptionally accommodating, attentive, personal and kind. This is definitely their most significant feature! The interior design, overall look of the villa is nice. Location is Ideal, next to Puerto Banus & not far from Puente Romano I loved the peacefulness and how quiet it was during our stay. The shared common areas is a unique, quirky concept for a “luxury” accommodation but it works and is quite handy.
