Hospitality architecture in Torremolinos calls for a difficult balance: updating established tourism products, coping with intensive use, opening the façade to the Mediterranean and building a brand that today’s guests will recognise. At Klic Arquitectos we work on hotels, beach clubs and hospitality facilities on the Costa del Sol with a comprehensive approach – design, site management and interior design – that makes the most of the beachfront in the province of Málaga.

5 key considerations for a hotel project in Torremolinos

  • Brief and brand positioning: understanding the operator, the segment (sun & sand, urban, MICE) and the promise to the guest before drawing a single line.
  • Local plan (PGOU) and sector regulations: planning permits, DB-SI and DB-SUA (fire safety and safety in use), accessibility and the Andalusian tourism regulations that apply to hotel establishments.
  • Programme, flows and ergonomics: separate guest and staff circulation, short routes, and well-planned storage and back-of-house areas.
  • Materials for intensive use and a marine environment: finishes that resist salt air and chlorine, non-slip flooring and highly durable outdoor furniture.
  • Lighting and branded environments: layered lighting, scenes for different times of day and careful attention to branding, furniture and planting.

Hotel renovations in Torremolinos

Much of the work in Torremolinos involves full renovations of existing hotels: updating rooms and bathrooms, redesigning the lobby, restaurants and bars, work on roofs and pools, and improving the building envelope to cope better with the sun and save energy. We also design hotel-related facilities – beach clubs, restaurants, kids’ clubs – that extend the guest experience outdoors.
