SPOTLIGHT | HOTELS

The Encinar Sotogrande Hotel is a name that is synonymous with elegance, and it is only fitting that it is located in one of Andalucía’s most luxurious areas: Sotogrande, home to nine of Europe’s top golf courses (including Real Club Valderrama), the Santa María Polo Club, and the Sotogrande Marina. The Hotel was initially designed as a Parador – a state-owned luxury hotel that is usually located in a converted historic building. However, it was soon re-envisioned as a hotel. It was built in 1963 under the guiding hand of brilliant architect, José Antonio Corrales, who bestowed it with innovative as well as traditional Andalusian touches, such as its stunning courtyard.
