Hotel Lima undergoes 2.8-million-euro refit

Building work has begun to convert Hotel Lima in the centre of Marbella from a two-star to a four-star hotel.

The building, on Avenida Antonio Belón, is undergoing a 2.8-million-euro refit which will not see the hotel increase in size (in fact it will go from 64 rooms to 60) but will see a complete overhaul, inside and out.

A new rooftop swimming pool will be installed, as will a restaurant on the ground floor and a gym and spa area.

The hotel's owners hope that the refit will be complete in time for the high season.
