“Obal Hotel Marbella strikes me as a particularly well-run, modern property, and its location right on the edge of the old town is a genuine advantage. The rooftop bar, coupled with the recent 2023 renovation, gives it a stylish edge, and the family ownership seems to translate into a higher level of care. I think this hotel is a solid choice, especially for travelers who appreciate both contemporary design and a central, walkable location.”
