In true Hard Rock style, the new four-star property is set to continue to provide the unique, immersive music environment which you’d expect, along with premium services and a range of high-end facilities.

That will comprise two swimming pools, including a stunning infinity pool with premium bar service, 383 exclusive rooms and suites, stand-out leisure facilities, and one of the largest event centres in Marbella, for the most decadent meetings in the Mediterranean.

Music and entertainment will be at the heart of the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella experience: From an iconic music memorabilia collection, sourced from Spanish artists and musicians to reflect the hotel’s location, to a full musical immersion experience through Hard Rock’s ‘Sound of Your Stay’ programme, which will allow for in-room guitar jam sessions, streaming playlists available upon check-in and in-room delivery of a Crosley vinyl player.

To relax after rocking out, the hotel will offer high-end wellness facilities, including a Body Rock gym, Rock Om yoga programme and the Rock Spa wellness centre, complete with five treatment rooms, a sauna and relaxation room.
