Hotel Don Carlos invests 25 million euros in new look

Setting New Trends

While many Marbella hotels endured a slow start to the year with low winter and spring
occupancy figures on the Costa del Sol, the 5-star Hotel Don Carlos Beach & Golf
Resort sailed into 2006 fully booked. Beating off competition from an ever-increasing
number of 5-star establishments in the area, the iconic hotel benefits from a radical
facelift that has transformed the hotel into a haven of designer desirability.

Representing an investment of some 25 million euros, the all-encompassing renovations
programme has been carried out over the last five years.

Designs on the Future

Maximising the potential of the hotel’s 60’s post-modernist architecture, the flavour of the
new interior by Gatserelia Design International is contemporary retro chic. The ambience
is modern, yet enduring, with high quality materials and a neutral colour palette to
achieve a timeless elegance.

Bold splashes of colour, such as the red chaise-longue in each room, the Strange Thing
chairs by design guru Philippe Starck greeting visitors as they step out of the lift on each
floor and the abstract, Gary Edwards bullfighting and flamenco photographs add unique touches of style. The impressive lobby features futuristic lighting and bespoke mosaic
tiles by Bisazza, some crafted in real gold.
Created around elements that enhance the generous measures of light and space, such
as glass, mirrors and naturally bleached oak wood paneling and luxuriant carpet, the
rooms are fitted with brand new bathrooms, complete with Molten Brown toiletries.

A Hi Tech Haven

When guests are not looking in awe at the spectacular views from each floor across the
whole bay of Marbella, they can keep their laptops and Blackberries busy with a variety
of internet connections; plug and play at the desk in every room, wireless connection
from the portable TV keyboard, and for the more disciplined business traveller, wi-fi
connection at the pools, gardens and beach club makes it possible to surf the net from
the comfort of a sun bed; unprecedented privileges, indeed, in a Marbella hotel.

Conference Facilities

Flocking to the 2,000 sq metre, state-of-the-art conference facilities - without peer in a
town more famous for golf and nightlife than business gatherings – prestigious global
brands never fail to be impressed by the hotel. The Don Carlos combines all the hi-tech
facilities and gizmos expected of any self-respecting conference centre of international
renown with one of the most spectacular and exuberant Mediterranean settings in
existence.

Add to this the heated outdoor swimming pool, award-winning tropical gardens, the
expansive beach club, along with the glamour of the world famous Nikki Beach and 24
privately owned luxurious Beach Suites, the establishment offers guests a total resort
experience.

During a presentation of the hotel’s new image on 28th April 2006, Mr Jihad El Khoury,
Consejero Delegado del Don Carlos Beach & Golf Resort Hotel informed over 400
guests, “Through continuous investment in quality over the past five years, we have
brought the Hotel Don Carlos up to international standards. Our goal is to become the
leading beach and golf resort in southern Europe.”
