Hotel Maribel ****

Maribel is Sierra Nevada’s alpine style chalet, with a mix of high-altitude fun both on and off the piste for families, friends, and winter sports enthusiasts. We’re a sophisticated ski-in/ski-out lifestyle hotel, located at 2,250 metres, with direct access to the Maribel and Águila, offering 29 alpine-inspired rooms and suites, including the signature Maribel Penthouse Suite. With us, guests can enjoy the perfect plan on and off the pistes, with a compelling blend of sport, wellness, and dining. Maribel’s lounge and bar, with a ski-in/ski-out outdoor terrace, promises a unique après ski atmosphere, while Maribel's restaurant provides a ‘dining club’ experience with an alpine flavour. There's even a Nordic-inspired spa where guests can rest their weary muscles after a day on the slopes and unwind under the stars. Maribel’s perfectly groomed guest rooms and suites, most with balconies and panoramic views to the piste, each have playful monikers like Maricarmen or Marisol. Our duplex suites are creatively designed for those who prefer to travel with their family or a small group of friends. Feel immediately at home, with warm, welcoming, alpine-inspired interiors, featuring Finnish wood, leather furniture, faux-fur throws, plush king beds, seating areas, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes for your ski kit, in room tech like Chromecast Smart TVs and even heated wooden floors. Indulgent bathrooms boast rain-fall showers, spa baths, Natura Bissé toiletries and Maribel's signature bathrobes and slippers. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by a sweeping elliptical staircase that defines the buzzing hotel lobby. The open-plan, interconnected library, bar, and lounge areas merge into a single, welcoming space. The outdoor terrace, a sun-kissed deck with access to the Maribel and Aguila slopes, will be a favourite for indulgent hot chocolate and sundowners, making the perfect accompaniment to experiencing the golden hour. Maribel's restaurant will serve hearty dishes and mountain favourites in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere until late at night. Stevani & Silva are the creative forces behind the stand-out decoration of Maribel's bar and restaurant. Expect a bold mix of dark and warm tones, sensual textures like velvet, and show-stealing design details like the gold leaf bar, the restaurant’s snake-shaped sofa, and hanging fireplaces. Maribel's is the perfect place to enjoy a dinner with a mountain view. We’ve created the ultimate ski and snow destination in Sierra Nevada. With direct access to the pistes, Maribel, taking its name from the adjacent ski run of the same name, is 50 metres from the chairlift at Parador No. 1 and just a few metres from its sister hotel, El Lodge. Maribel's is prominently located in the ski village of the Sierra Nevada national park, which includes one of the most extensive ski areas in southern Europe. 110 km of skiable slopes are distributed over 131 runs, including the highest slope in the Iberian Peninsula at an altitude of 3,400 metres. For freestyle boarders and skiers, there’s the Snow Park, while there are also trails dedicated to cross country skiing. Zoom down in style and comfort with kit from our in-house ski hire boutique. Then after a day of satisfying your thirst for adrenalin, rest your weary muscles in our intimate spa, with two treatment rooms, Turkish steam room, sauna, as well as a large hot tub out on the deck, where you can unwind under the stars. The Sierra Nevada ski resort is a 45-minute transfer from Granada International Airport and just 2 hours from Malaga International Airport and Marbella.
