In 1954, Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe turned a small finca called Santa Margarita into the Marbella Club Hotel. What began with just 20 rooms soon became a meeting point for friends, artists, and travelers who shaped a new Mediterranean way of life.
From summer afternoons by the pool and evenings filled with music, to the arrival of Hollywood stars and European icons, the Club became the heart of Marbella’s story.
Later, the vision expanded inland with the Marbella Club Golf Resort in Benahavís — carrying the same spirit of nature, sport, and timeless style.
Seventy years later, Marbella Club is still more than a hotel. It’s a piece of history that explains how Marbella became what it is today.
