Hotel Villa Padierna Opens Its
Doors
Flamingos Golf Club & Resort's first five-star
Grand Luxury hotel opened its doors April 1, 2003. Flamingos Golf
Club & Resort is situated in one of the most beautiful enclaves
of Marbella, also known as the 'New Golden Mile'. It is a short
drive from Puerto Banus or Marbella's Old Town.
The hotel is designed to cleverly resemble an old
palace converted into a luxury hotel with 41 rooms and 12 suites.
The decoration and design of the rooms, courtyard, loggia, bar and
restaurant reflect the traditional life of a Tuscan mansion.
Situated on the ground floor of the hotel is the
reception, the courtyard with its glass dome, bar and clubhouse
lounge, 'La Loggia' restaurant and the gourmet restaurant 'La Veranda'.
This is ideal for private dinners, a christening or other celebrations.
The large terrace offers fantastic views of the Flamingo Rosa golf
course, the Mediterranean sea and the Atlas mountains of Africa.
The sunsets to be seen from this vantage point will add countless
memories to family or company festivities. There are few hotels
in the world that can boast such luxury with many original antiques,
marble, fountains and paintings contributing to an exclusive yet
friendly atmosphere.
From the marbled courtyard in reception, the stairs
rise to the bedrooms situated on each of the first, second and third
floors. Each of the rooms has been decorated with the utmost care
and has been equipped with the most modern fittings to meet the
requirements of the most demanding guest. The Hotel Villa Padierna
is the only hotel on the Costa del Sol that offers its guests free
access to the Internet. It is also the only one which offers in
almost every room the same view from the bathrooms as the bedrooms.
The fourth floor is different. It consists of 4
individually decorated penthouses. According to the needs of the
guest, the penthouses can be adjusted by adding further bedrooms
or salons.
The largest conference room is 360m2 and can be
divided into 3 separate meeting rooms. This room is the perfect
size for a gala dinner, business presentation or the launching
of a new product. La Loggia is, perhaps, most appropriate for
golf
presentation dinners due to its views, atmosphere and elegance.
During summer 2003, the outdoor swimming pool will
be finished, which will be in the garden between the two hotel 'wings'.
The second hotel building will have 54 more rooms and also a fully-equipped
spa with thermal baths along with further meeting rooms. The second
establishment will be open for guests during summer 2004.
The hotel inauguration represents the second phase
of the luxury resort's development after the 18 holes of 'Flamingo
Rosa' were opened for play on July 11, 2001. Flamingo Rosa represents
the garden of the Tuscan villa and Roman columns, classically-styled
statues and marble bridges were talking points during the three
professional tournaments Flamingos Golf has already hosted. In March
2003 Flamingo Blanco will also be completed. This is an 18-hole
par 64 Academy course next to a 100-bay driving range and a team
of highly-qualified professionals. The construction of classrooms
and other facilities started in January 2003 and will be completed
before October 2003.
