Aresbank Marbella Reopens as an Exclusive Restaurant and Private Club

New Era for Motel Particulier in Marbella

Grupo Mosh and Grupo Dani García launch the next evolution of the iconic restaurant and private members’ club. This new space offers a restaurant, two outdoor terraces, a piano bar, and a private club.

This July, the celebrated collaboration between Grupo Mosh and Grupo Dani García begins a bold new chapter with the opening of Motel Particulier Marbella, a completely reimagined restaurant and private club experience at one of the city’s most iconic addresses.

Located in the former Aresbank building, an imposing 1980s Moorish-inspired building on Marbella’s Golden Mile that had remained closed for over 20 years, this expansive space, now reborn thanks to a significant investment of over €10 million, spans over 2,000 m² across several floors. It offers a restaurant, two outdoor terraces, a piano bar, and a private members’ club, inviting guests to disappear from the outside world and reappear in a more decadent, seductive, and completely unknown place.

Designed in collaboration with acclaimed interior designer Lázaro Rosa Violán, the space combines timeless elegance with avant-garde immersion. The culinary vision is led by César Alonso, former chef of Gastón Acurio’s flagship restaurants, bringing refined artistry to every dish.

Motel Particulier is not a restaurant: it’s a hidden dimension, designed for those who crave beauty, privacy, and mystery. Here, all five senses are not just stimulated, but seduced. From the scent of citrus and smoke wafting through the terraces to the velvety bass of curated soundtracks that seem to envelop the skin, every element is calibrated to transform your mood and sharpen your senses.

At the heart of the experience is a culinary journey where Mediterranean soul meets Japanese precision. Each dish, like the Wagyu Yakitori, the 24k Lobster Negitoro, or the stunning Imperial Surf & Turf, feels more like a scene from a dream than a meal. The Tomahawk, finished with Shio Koji’s signature glaze, is a moment of theater: bold, primal, and unforgettable.

The Black Obsidian cocktail program plays with temperature, texture, and illusion. A single sip can blossom into spice, smoke, or silence. Every sip is an invitation to lose yourself.

From the early evening to the early morning, the experience transforms. Couture gowns glide between perfectly lit tables, performances emerge without warning, and the flow of the night effortlessly carries guests from the restaurant to the piano bar and rooftop terrace. No visit is the same: each night becomes its own story.

Membership

While Motel Particulier welcomes all guests to its restaurant, terraces, and bars, membership unlocks an even deeper level of exclusivity with a private room dedicated exclusively to members. More than access, the Members Club offers a sense of belonging to a parallel world, created for the culturally curious and the aesthetically discerning. Here, the design is intimate, the programming carefully curated, and discretion absolute.

At its center, a custom-made Teile sound system, created by Rampa of Keinemusik, transforms listening into a tactile experience. Sound doesn’t just fill the room; it fills you. In this sanctuary, strangers become confidants, and time feels like something that can be folded or paused.

Having a membership isn’t just about gaining entry. It’s about being part of a living, rare, unrepeatable, and ever-evolving concept. While anyone can apply, approval is by committee: it’s not a question of status, but of alignment. The question isn’t whether you want in, but whether you belong.

This new Motel Particulier location marks a pivotal moment in the creative alliance between Grupo Mosh masters of immersive hospitality and Grupo Dani García, leaders in creative culinary experiences.

Supported by international partners from the worlds of film, fashion, finance, and sports, including acclaimed actor and viral phenomenon Arón Piper as brand ambassador, the project reflects a shared mission: to position Marbella as a global hub for culinary innovation, sensorial architecture, and cultural magnetism.

To bring this vision to life, Motel Particulier has enlisted the expertise of some of the world’s most renowned hospitality and entertainment professionals. Senior executives from Caprice Holdings, known for international icons such as Annabel’s, Sexy Fish, and The Ivy, have helped define its strategy, while artistic directors from Lío Ibiza have curated its entertainment program, ensuring that each night is imbued with seduction, surprise, and cutting-edge artistry.

With more than 200 direct jobs created and every detail meticulously considered, Motel Particulier aims to redefine luxury on the Costa del Sol, elevating it from a destination to a luxury destination.

Motel Particulier opened its doors on July 15, 2025.

Fun Facts

Mosh Group

In 2016, a group of entrepreneurs with extensive experience in the leisure sector, both nationally and internationally, decided to open their first restaurant in Marbella, Mosh Fun Kitchen. Following the success of this first venue, this was followed by the Playa Padre beach club in 2017, the Momento (2018) and Motel Particulier (2020) nightclubs, Nido Estepona (2021), its first beach club outside of Marbella, and finally, La Câbane, in the summer of 2023, the group’s first project alongside Grupo Dani García and Dolce & Gabbana. Lovers of music, fashion, decoration, and gastronomy, their projects flourish and are born inspired by their travels around the world, which lead them to gather experiences that will later be imported into their particular business universe. Grupo Mosh is synonymous with extraordinary locations, evocative architecture and interior design, and a gastronomic proposal inspired by the conceptual (and differential) roots of each of its venues, where fashion, music, and hedonism are much more than a hallmark, but a way of enjoying life.

 

Dani García Group

Casual and innovative, Dani García Group emerged from the avant-garde vision, love of cooking, appreciation for good work, and other passions shared by Dani García and his partners, Laura and Javier Gutiérrez.

If anything defines the Dani García Group, it’s its values: respect, loyalty, teamwork, creativity, and the ability to develop new brands, concepts, and gastronomic formats adapted to new channels and target audiences, creating unique experiences based on the versatility and creativity of the Andalusian chef’s cuisine. These values and business assets also aim to continue fulfilling Dani García’s dream: to bring his gastronomic offerings to every home, both within and outside our borders.

Currently, the group includes the restaurants BiBo (Madrid, Marbella, Tarifa, Doha, and London), Lobito de Mar (Marbella, Madrid, La Finca, and Doha), Dani Brasserie at the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, Leña (Marbella, Madrid, and Dubai), Alelí, Kemuri, La Câbane, and Tragabuches in Marbella and Madrid, El Coleccionista in Madrid, and La Chambre Bleue in Paris, which offers Mediterranean cuisine with international touches. Additionally, Dani García translates his passion for haute cuisine, grilled meats, and hospitality into Smoked Room, a unique and exclusive space with two locations in Madrid and Dubai, where grilled meats and smoke are the cornerstones of the restaurant. An innovative concept that, just six months old, earned a two-star spot in the 2022 Michelin Guide at its Madrid location, becoming a culinary milestone.

At the end of 2021, Dani García opened his Casa Dani concept in New York, making the leap to the Big Apple once again. The group also has Atelier Dani García, the chef’s R&D center in Marbella. In the coming months, it will continue its national and international expansion, bringing some of its restaurants back to Madrid, but also to new destinations such as Miami, Amsterdam, and Budapest.
