Renewing the history and essence of Sotogrande

Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande was originally designed by the renowned architect and winner of the national prize for architecture, José Antonio Corrales, as a hotel for high-end stopovers. The hotel, which opened in the 1960s, has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment of all its facilities, including a new decorative and interior-design scheme, which has managed to integrate the history and essence of Sotogrande that this iconic building excudes into a new concept for its public spaces.

The history of golf in Sotogrande is a history that speaks of the prestige of its courses and the quality of their design –some of them have been used as venues for important national and international tournaments. But what is really exciting, especially for golf enthusiasts, is how the development of tourism and the hotels themselves have become increasingly involved with the sport.

A good example of this synergy of golf and tourism is the full refurbishment project carried out by Hotel El Encinar de Sotogrande. This aimed to return this remarkable establishment to the splendour it enjoyed years ago, when it was a place of choice to relax in for numerous celebrities and well-known faces, including Jacqueline Kennedy herself.

The plan has gone hand in hand with intense work on the customer experience with the goal of offering guests special moments that remain with them beyond their stay. “Our guest service, going one step further and exceeding their expectations, will be part of the unique experience of staying at our hotel,” the management explains.

After the renovation, Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande will be a completely new product, in terms of both its facilities and public spaces and in its overall concept, while maintaining the essence that has always made it a point of reference among national and international hotels. Its privileged location, just a few minutes from the most prestigious golf courses in Spain, means it is highly sought after by lovers of the sport. Likewise, the marvellous air and land connections make Sotogrande the perfect location for playing golf.

Cuisine, as one of the experiences that adds value to a hotel stay, is a cornerstone of Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande. In this new phase, the Acebuche restaurant and La Bellota snack bar are committed to offering a dining concept where proximity and support for zero-kilometre produce form the basis of the menus, creating a worthy space for local food. Sustainability and limiting the effects on the environment also have an important part to play in the hotel’s new comfort experience. A pioneering air-filtration system has been installed that eliminates almost all allergenic bacteria and fungi (including SARS-Cov-2), all of which is certified by SEAIC – the Spanish allergology and clinical immunology association. In addition, this system runs at a very high level of effciency, minimising the carbon footprint as well as providing a significant advance in both comfort and health and hygiene conditions. www.hotelencinardesotogrande.com

In short, Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande once again provides an exclusive choice and offers affordable luxury to all those seeking a select setting in which to enjoy a few days of rest surrounded by some of the best golf holes in Spain.
