Malaga, Malaga City, Spain

Fuel your sightseeing with a hearty breakfast, typically served in a bright, contemporary dining area that blends original features with modern design. Expect a continental-style spread with pastries, breads, fruit, cereals and hot options to start the day.

The hotel doesn’t operate a full-service restaurant or bar for lunch and dinner – instead, you’re perfectly placed to eat like a local in the surrounding streets, with tapas bars, rooftop terraces, wine bars and cafés within a few minutes’ walk in every direction.

There’s no pool at Petit Palace Plaza Malaga – most guests spend their days exploring the city’s cultural highlights and then cool off at the beach or along the breezy waterfront instead.

Playa la Malagueta, the city’s main urban beach, is about 1.3km away. Here you’ll find palm trees, sunbeds and chiringuito beach bars serving grilled sardines and ice-cold drinks, with the harbour and castle as your backdrop.

This is a city-focused boutique base rather than a resort hotel, so on-site facilities are streamlined and designed around comfort and convenience. Typical facilities include:

• 24-hour reception and lobby lounge areas
• Lift serving the hotel’s 5 floors
• Free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property
• Luggage storage – handy for late flights or early arrivals

Being right in the centre of Malaga means you’re close to gyms, spas and yoga studios if you want to add wellness to your stay, as well as bike rental and guided walking tours for active explorers.

Double or Twin Room
Sleeps 2 (minimum 2, maximum 2). A comfortable, modern base with either a double bed or twin beds. Expect air-conditioning or climate control, Wi‑Fi, TV, safe, and a contemporary bathroom with shower. Ideal for couples or friends who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city.

Double or Twin Room for Sole Use
Sleeps 1 (minimum 1, maximum 1). All the features of a standard Double/Twin but configured for solo travellers, giving you extra space and comfort in a central location.

Inner Double Room
Sleeps 1–2 (minimum 1, maximum 2). These rooms usually face the interior of the building rather than the street, making them a good choice if you value a quieter, cocooned feel over views.

Double or Twin Room with Views
Sleeps 2 (minimum 2, maximum 2). Similar in layout to the standard rooms but positioned to make the most of city views – think historic rooftops, church towers or lively streets below.

Triple Room
Sleeps 3 (minimum 3, maximum 3). A smart option for small groups of friends or families, typically offering a combination of double/twin beds and an additional bed, with the same contemporary décor and amenities.

Quadruple Room
Sleeps 4 (minimum 4, maximum 4). Designed with families or small groups in mind, usually with a mix of beds and/or sofa-beds to maximise space. A great choice if you want everyone together in the same room without sacrificing central-city convenience.
