Palacio Solecio
Want to truly get away from it all? You’ll feel like you’ve entered not just another world but a different era in this 18th-century former Andalusian palace. Have breakfast under carved stone archways and tiled ceilings in the opulent Moorish central atrium, dine on meals in the Balausta restaurant cooked by revered Málaga chef José Carlos García and rest easy in elegant rooms. Plus, the splendid pile is slap bang in the middle of Màlaga’s historic centre, just a stone’s throw from the Picasso Museum and the ancient Alcazaba.
The mood? Fit for royalty.
Location perks? Awarded Best Urban Hotel in 2022 by Condé Nast Traveler, this absolute beaut is a peaceful retreat just lapping with character, charm and stunning rooftop vistas.
Budget range? A decent price when you book a little in advance.
