Map & location


Malaga, Malaga City, Spain

Set right in the historic heart of Malaga, Vincci Seleccion Posada del Patio puts you steps from the city’s most celebrated sights, bars and boutiques. Wander narrow streets that open into tapas-packed plazas, stop for galleries and gardens, then be back on the rooftop deck in time for sunset over terracotta rooftops.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 20–25 minutes by taxi or private transfer; shared shuttles may take slightly longer depending on stops.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


For a city hotel, the rooftop space is a standout.

Rooftop freshwater plunge pool
Located on the roof terrace, this compact outdoor pool is made for cooling dips between sunbathing and sightseeing rather than full-on laps. The surrounding deck offers sunbeds and views across Malaga’s rooftops, making it a favourite spot for a pre-dinner unwind. Complimentary pool towels are provided.

While there’s no on-site beach, the city’s main stretch of sand – Playa La Malagueta – is about 1.8km away, combining a broad sweep of sand with chiringuito beach bars and seafront restaurants.
