Maribel to open in Spain’s Sierra Nevada region
Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range is set to welcome a new destination hotel, Maribel, next month. The reimagined alpine ski chalet will open under the new ownership and management of Puente Romano Beach Resort and Marbella Club, responsible for El Lodge Ski & Spa.
Situated at 2,250m, with direct access to the Maribel and Águila slopes, the property will comprise 29 rooms and suites – including the signature Maribel Penthouse Suite – as well as a lounge and bar with a ski-in/ski-out outdoor terrace, and a restaurant that provides a dining club experience with alpine flavour. Topping things off is a Nordic-inspired spa where guests can rest their muscles after a day on the slopes.
Guests will be greeted by a sweeping elliptical staircase that defines the hotel lobby. The open-plan, interconnected library, bar, and lounge areas merge into a single, welcoming space. Stevani & Silva are the creative forces behind the stand-out decoration of Maribel’s bar and restaurant; their scheme features a mix of dark and warm tones, sensual textures like velvet and bold design details like the gold leaf bar, the restaurant’s snake-shaped sofa and hanging fireplaces.
The ski chalet’s 29 guestrooms and suites are set over three floors. Accommodation includes duplex suites, creatively designed for those travelling with their family or a small group of friends. Each has warm, alpine-inspired interiors with Finnish wood, leather furniture, faux-fur throws and Natura Bissè amenities.
“Sierra Nevada is already a booming destination, and we want to bring even more to the table – a ground-breaking boutique ski chalet where you can dare to try thrilling mountain sports and bring together people from all corners of the world who are not afraid to set their own standards,” explains Daniel Shamoon, co-owner of Maribel.
