Marbella-Marina Robertson - Jet Set Life

Rob: Okay, got it. I appreciate it.
Marina: There are a few places worth seeing. Marbella district basically covers Marbella City,
Puerto Banus, San Pedro, Nueva Andalucia. And they’re all very beautiful, there are things to do
here, there are things to look at and there’s another place called Ronda which is a beautiful
town in the mountains and it’s probably 40 minutes drive from Marbella and that particular
town is worth visiting because it’s got the oldest bull ring in Spain. Here in Spain you want to
see something special. This monument was built in the 16 th century and it was meant for the
Royal Cavalry of Ronda but then it was converted to a bull ring in the 18 th century so if you go to
Ronda, it’s worth seeing.
Rob: Which of the areas that if somebody’s going to stay, you know our market is interested in
where the jet setters are hanging out, where all the action is, where the party is, we’re looking
for a place to blow off some steam. Where is the place to stay? During the day you’ve got the
beaches and it’s beautiful and the shopping and at night its fantastic restaurants. Where is that
central area that you should find a hotel if you want that kind of environment?
Marina: Okay, when we talk about hotels, the best hotels are The Marbella Club Hotel Golf
Resort, is the premium resort, everybody knows about it, it’s probably one of the most
luxurious hotels in the area. Another one which is a sister hotel is Puente Romano, built on the
actual Roman bridge, it’s a small bridge but it’s very beautiful and there’s one hotel which is not
in Marbella but you’ve been in the area, it’s not far from Laguna Village, it’s in Estepona, it’s
called The Kempinski Hotel. Have you seen it?
Rob: Yeah. I’ve seen it. That’s part of the…that’s a Russian collection, is that right?
Marina: Swiss
Rob: Swiss, okay.
