Named after the first century Roman bridge on the site, Puente Romano Hotel started life as apartments before becoming a hotel in 1979. Like Marbella Club Hotel, the hotel enjoys a privileged position in the heart of the Golden Mile in Marbella and ranks as one of the best 5-star GL hotels on the Costa del Sol.
Puente Romano Hotel offers luxury accommodation including several suites – the Imperial Suite with sea views and 190 square metres is famed as one of the most exclusive hotel suites in Spain. The hotel boasts award-winning tropical gardens with over 400 plant and tree species as well as numerous water features.

The Puente Romano beach club comes into its own in the summer months with a restaurant, bar and live music every evening.
Puente Romano Tennis Club
A member of the Leading Hotels of the World since 1982, Puente Romano Hotel also has one of the best tennis clubs in Spain. Synonymous with top players, the club opened in 1980 under the management of Bjorn Borg who got married at the Hotel. Wimbledon champion Manolo Santana took over the Puente Romano Tennis Club in 1983.
The club boasts ten tennis courts, eight of which are clay and four paddle tennis courts plus a gymnasium and shop.
