Gran Hotel Miramar brings Belle Epoque ceremony to Malaga's seafront, with tiled courtyards, formal gardens and rooms facing the Mediterranean. Its cinematic connection is equally direct: Antonio Banderas walked the hotel's scaled-back Goya Awards red carpet on 6 March 2021 before presenting the ceremony at Teatro del Soho. El Pais and El Espanol independently place him at the completed photocall. This is an event appearance rather than a documented stay, but it links the five-star landmark to one of Malaga's defining film nights.

La Zambra revives the glamour of the former Hotel Byblos beneath the hills of Mijas, pairing Andalusian calm with pools, gardens and a cocooning spa. The Rolling Stones were among the rock royalty who retreated to the same blue-towered property in its Byblos years, before its careful rebirth as La Zambra.
Copacabana Palace is Rio's enduring beachfront stage, where white-glove service, Atlantic light and the famous pool turn a stay into old-world theatre. The Rolling Stones used it as their base for the monumental 2006 Copacabana Beach concert, crossing to the stage through a purpose-built bridge from the hotel.
