About Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá
Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá is one of Marbella's most iconic luxury hotels, occupying a prime beachfront position on the Paseo Marítimo promenade in the heart of Marbella city center. Originally opened in 1964, it has been fully renovated under the prestigious Gran Meliá brand to offer contemporary luxury while honoring its mid-century heritage.
The hotel features a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean, the exclusive RedLevel premium service for VIP guests, a world-class spa, and direct access to Playa de la Fontanilla — Marbella's most famous urban beach. Its central location means guests can walk to the old town, boutique shopping, and the marina in minutes.
Address: Calle José Meliá, s/n, 29602 Marbella. Your driver drops you at the main entrance directly on the promenade.
Your Journey: Airport to Hotel Don Pepe
Route details, road conditions, and what to expect on arrival
The transfer from Malaga Airport to Hotel Don Pepe follows the AP-7 motorway for 52 km, typically taking around 40 minutes. Don Pepe is in central Marbella, so your driver exits the motorway at the main Marbella junction and follows the Paseo Marítimo to the hotel entrance.
One advantage of Don Pepe's central location is shorter travel time compared to Golden Mile hotels. You avoid the extra 5-10 minutes of Golden Mile boulevard traffic, arriving slightly quicker. The hotel's main entrance is directly on the promenade — easy to access even during peak season.
For guests booking the RedLevel VIP experience, we can coordinate with the hotel's personal butler service so your welcome begins the moment you step out of the vehicle.
