US hotel chain Hard Rock Hotel is bringing its rock themed vacation experience to Europe this summer with the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza.

Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza is one of just six five-star hotels on the island and boasts 493 rooms, including 293 suites, as well as four restaurants and seven bars.

The original Las Vegas hotel has appeared in several high films and TV shows, including in episodes of Entourage and The O.C. as well as in the movie 21 in which Jim Sturgess and Kevin Spacey shakedown the local casinos.

Its Mediterranean off-spring is situated next to Playa d’en Bossa Beach – longest stretch of sand on the island – and is ideally placed for the island’s vibrant club and bar scene.

Holidaymakers who fancy partying without leaving the hotel will be able to enjoy the hotel’s own gigs which will feature top DJs and artists playing to crowds of up to 2,500.

Acts currently confirmed the coming months include UB40 (June 27th), Ellie Goulding (August 8th) and Snoop Dogg (August 15th).

Those looking for a quieter holiday experience will appreciate the two pools, each of which come with water-side waiter service and four-poster cabanas.

And, in keeping with its Hard Rock lineage, the hotel is offering some “truly unforgettable” music-related amenities including ‘Sound of Your Stay’ which allows guests to create a personalised playlist, be the DJ in their guest room or even take guitar lessons.

Plus the Rock Shop will offer a range of Hard Rock clothing and merchandise, including jewellery, watches and hoodies to take back home as gifts or souvenirs.
