Club Med will open in Marbella
After remodelling the Don Miguel hotel
The company, which is owned by an Arab investment group, bought the hotel in 2012. At that time it announced that it planned to reopen it as a luxury hotel for Marbella.
In his speech, the CEO of Magna Hotels & Resorts asked people living in the area to be patient during the construction phase and thanked the council for its support for the project. He said the laying of the first stone symbolised the start of the conversion of the former Don Miguel into “a top-of-therange family hotel”. The group will be investing nearly 72 million euros on the project.
The company hopes between 300,000 and 400,000 guests a year will stay in the hotel’s rooms, which have sea and mountain views. It believes this is possible thanks to the association with Club Med, a partner with over six decades of experience in managing all-inclusive family hotels.
The renovation works will create 300 jobs, and a further 300 positions when the complex is open and running. About 1,000 indirect jobs will also be created by the project.
