“I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would happily come back again. Everything exceeded my expectations. The service was outstanding, and the staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. A special thank you to the concierge team—they were incredibly helpful and made everything so easy. Both check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient, with no unnecessary hassle. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety and high-quality food. The hotel itself is beautifully renovated (only about a year old), and my suite was spacious, modern, and very comfortable. Housekeeping came twice a day, which was a lovely touch and kept everything spotless. The pool was great, and the rooftop bar, Escondido, was absolutely fantastic with a wonderful atmosphere. Overall, this hotel is worth every penny. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marbella.”

“I had such a lovely experience at Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella by IHG with some friends. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with elegant design, amazing atmosphere, and incredible attention to detail. Everything felt relaxing and luxurious from the moment we arrived. I also visited the Maison Codage spa for a treatment and was truly impressed. The experience was exceptional — the treatment was deeply relaxing and the CODAGE products felt amazing on the skin. I completely fell in love with the brand and the whole spa experience. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy Marbella. Highly recommended!”

“It was such a pleasure staying at The Kimpton, Los Monteros, Marbella. My daughter and I had such a relaxing time! The staff were first class, from the house maids, through to management. The same standard of care was very apparent throughout. Nothing was any trouble! The cleanliness of the whole hotel was excellent! The facilities were fabulous. The cocktails/drinks and food were amazing. I have not got one complaint, which is unusual for me! 5* just isn’t enough for this hotel!!”

“Our stay at Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella as a family of five exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The rooms were incredibly spacious and thoughtfully equipped—this was actually the first hotel I’ve ever stayed in that even provided a clothes steamer, which was such a nice touch. The beds were large and very comfortable, and the toiletries were excellent. One detail that really stood out was the atmosphere throughout the hotel—it had a fresh, natural scent that felt clean and calming, without being artificial. The pool was also noticeably bigger than it appears in the photos, which was a pleasant surprise. What truly made the experience special, though, was the staff. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable without ever feeling forced or overly polished. It felt much more like the kind of sincere welcome you get in a family-run boutique hotel—something that’s quite rare in larger, more “Instagram-style” resorts. The concierge experience was exceptional. It honestly felt like we had someone dedicated just to our family, handling every request in real time with ease and care. And I have to highlight the kids’ club—it went far beyond our expectations. The hotel strikes a perfect balance: it’s very child-friendly without compromising the experience for adults. We truly can’t wait to come back.”

“Fantastic anniversary stay and a culinary delight we had! We chose Kimpton Los Monteros in Marbella to celebrate our anniversary, and it was the perfect choice. The hotel sets an incredibly high standard and pays attention to every detail – from the well-equipped rooms (a very convenient Smart TV system and excellent amenities) to the overall relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's gastronomy deserves a huge shout-out. Dinner at the Jara restaurant was a top-tier fine dining experience – the wild seabass was cooked to absolute perfection, and the staff took great care of us with class while maintaining a welcoming, unpretentious vibe. The perfect end to our anniversary evening was a visit to the Escondido Rooftop. They have a brilliant menu of tequila- and mezcal-based signature cocktails. And we like it! So, we rate the entire stay a solid 5/5. It is the perfect place for a luxurious getaway and celebrating special moments. We will definitely be coming back!”
