Hard Rock Hotel Marbella

I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but I like it. (I like it.) With its “rest up and rock on” theme, the Hard Rock chain transformed this once-stuffy bus-tour hotel into a snazzy adults-only getaway. Rooms are surprisingly spacious and even the smallest have the brand’s clean styling, not to mention access to a guitar rental program in case you want to do a little picking during your stay. Two pools in the center of the hotel offer quick dips if you don’t want to trek through the highway underpass for the 10-minute walk to the beach. Guests enjoy free admission to the attached casino.
