ECF 2005 is being held in the peace and tranquillity in one of Marbella's finest locations, at the Hotel Punete Romano. The traditional Andalusian architecture of the hotel, lush sub-tropical gardens, fountains, brooks, waterfalls and palm trees - all by the blue Mediterranean waters. This hotel is the perfect setting for the ECF Forum, offering many meeting rooms with state-of-the-art facilities in five star surroundings.
Twenty seven separate three-story buildings comprise Hotel Puente Romano, originally conceived to be a exclusive private community and becoming hotel in 1979, which is now one of the "Leading Hotels of the World". Thanks to this, it offers guests a large variety of guestrooms and suites, all with private terraces overlooking the lush subtropical gardens, with sitting area and large bathrooms - many with separate hydromassage tub and shower.
