The iconic luxury hotel in Marbella, the Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá, celebrates its 60th anniversary as well as the Christmas season with new additions, which include an exclusive ice rink and a Christmas market.
The Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá in Marbella has announced the launch of an exclusive programme of activities to commemorate its 60 years open, coinciding with the arrival of the festive season. Among the main themes is the opening of an XTRAICE, a synthetic ice rink standing out as a unique experience that has not been on offer in Marbella for a long time.
One of the first big Christmas events
This has been one of the first events to delve into the broad selection of activities on offer in Marbella in the coming weeks.
The celebration began with an inaugural event that brought together prominent local authorities, local social dignitaries such as three-Michelin star chef Daní García, and as well the mayor of Marbella, María Ángeles Muñoz, who had the honour of turning on the Christmas lights along with Rocío Galán, director of operations of Meliá Costa del Sol, and Noelia Castillo, general director of the Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá. The ceremony was brightened up with a festive atmosphere by a children’s choir composed of 40 children from the Marbella British School.
The Christmas decorations of the hotel this year, as in other previous years, were designed by the florist Virginia González and characteristically in gold.
