Fuerte Hotels is a hotel chain primarily based in Andalusia; Costa del Sol, Costa de la Luz & Sierra de Grazalema in (Spain). The chain consists of six hotels as well as two sets of holiday apartment complexes.

History

On July 4, 1957, the first hotel was opened in Marbella, Malaga Andalusia (Spain). The first hotel of the chain, “Hotel El Fuerte”, was built next to ruins of El Fuerte de San Luís (Fort San Luis), which gifted the name to the first hotel and later the entire company.[1]

On the death of the founder José Luque in 1984, the chain was handed to his descendants. Today, the company, which is still family run, owns eight tourist establishments which maintain the same style as the hotel first opened in Marbella in 1957 next to El Fuerte de San Luís.[2]
