La Fonda, jewel of old town Marbella

La Fonda, the jewel of Marbella’s old town

La Fonda Heritage Hotel, located in Marbella Old Town in the middle of the Santo Cristo Square, is the best boutique hotel in Marbella.

This historical diamond is far from the hustle and bustle of Marbella’s hipster swankiness. With 20 intimate rooms and a range of culinary delights, it combines elegance and tradition.

Originally making waves in 1976 as Marbella’s first hotel restaurant to earn a Michelin Star, La Fonda’s culinary legacy continues thriving today under the expert direction of chef Jorge González Carmona, a veteran of Ritz Madrid and Robuchon fame.

The hotel’s celebrated spaces are designed to suit every taste. La Ermita, a magical venue within a recently recovered 16th-century San Sebastián chapel, gives us an exclusive and unique setting for intimate dinners and events. Los Patios offers an open-air dining option in a lush inner court steeped with history. La Fonda Sky Bar, located at the top of the building, offers breathtaking views. It is an elegant place for sunset cocktails. La Bodega de La Fonda is located on the opposite side of the square and offers a variety of local tapas as well unique dishes and a great wine list.

La Fonda is the center of Semana Santa in Marbella this Easter. It offers a front-row view of the processions and all the pomp. There’s also a menu specially crafted to celebrate the occasion. La Fonda Heritage Hotel offers an unforgettable escape to the heart of Marbella Old Town.
