Sterling Holiday Resorts has launched a new landmark in Dehradun: Sterling Marbella Dehradun, the city's first-ever Spanish-themed hotel.

The hotel offers 37 European-styled rooms and suites, designed to provide an authentic Andalusian experience. These accommodations cater to families, solo travelers, and business guests, offering stylish interiors and modern amenities.
A highlight of the hotel is its rooftop venue, Dreamers Restro. This dynamic space is perfect for private events and nightlife, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Dreamers Restro serves an eclectic menu featuring Indian favorites and Spanish specialties like paella, tapas, tortilla, gazpachos, and sangrias. Guests can enjoy these delicacies while listening to live music and soaking in the pleasant Dehradun weather.
Sterling Marbella Dehradun also offers versatile banquet facilities, including an indoor boardroom that can accommodate up to 16 guests and an outdoor rooftop terrace for up to 75 guests. These spaces are ideal for intimate celebrations, private meetings, and business events.
Mr. Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director and CEO of Sterling Holiday Resorts, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch, stating, "Sterling Marbella Dehradun perfectly blends Indian hospitality with a Spanish-themed ambiance.

Inderjeet Singh and Komalbir Singh, Founding Partners of Marbella Hotel & Resorts, LLP, shared their vision for the hotel, saying, "We aimed to bring the essence of Spain to our hometown. By immersing ourselves in the architecture and culture of Marbella in southern Spain, we have infused our hotel with the same style, creating an iconic destination that promises guests unique cultural and culinary experiences."
Guests at Sterling Marbella Dehradun can explore a variety of local attractions and activities. Highlights include the Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple, Robbers Cave, paragliding adventures, the Mindrolling Monastery, and vibrant shopping along Rajpur Road.
