Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa and Nobu Hospitality are today unveiling exciting plans to launch the Nobu Hotel & Restaurant Marbella at the five-star resort’s exceptional location in southern Spain.

Nobu Restaurant Marbella will launch in May 2017, and opening of Nobu Hotel Marbella will follow in spring 2018 at the luxurious Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa.

This new partnership between Nobu Hospitality and Puente Romano is set to create a spectacular next-generation lifestyle resort and a holistic destination experience for all guests.

Nobu Restaurant Marbella, the first Nobu to open in Spain, will sit at the heart of Marbella’s dining scene, joining Puente Romano’s magnetic gastronomic offering of ten individual restaurants including the two-Michelin star ‘Dani Garcia’.

The new restaurant will introduce Nobu’s world-renowned cuisine to the resort’s discerning guests.

Launching in spring 2018, the new Nobu Hotel Marbella will be distinguished by its bespoke Nobu guestroom design and sensual touches across the elegant hotel rooms.

Guests can look forward to priority access to the Nobu restaurant, a private swimming pool, and Natura Bisse amenities.

Nobu Matsuhisa’s exclusive in-room dining menu will be available around the clock to serve Nobu dishes to guests of Nobu Hotel Marbella who wish to make the most of the flexibility to dine in the privacy of their rooms or at the edge of the private pool.

“We are absolutely thrilled to announce the Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Marbella, and are delighted to partner with the owners of Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa to help bring a new vision for their destination to life,” commented Trevor Horwell, chief executive, Nobu Hospitality.

“Nobu Hotel Marbella will drive an experience balancing fun and luxury to create an enthralling destination in-keeping with the interests and needs of our global Nobu customer.”

The launch of the new hotel at the Marbella property will also see Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa entirely transformed into an all-suites resort.

Some 184 recently refurbished suites set across 27 beautifully designed Andalusian villas, will offer access to the resort’s famous amenities and Six Senses Spa, as well as the new Nobu experience.
