A lovely hotel in a great location. Super view from the rooftop bar and nice breakfasts. Ideal location for a central base to see the Christmas lights and video shows in Malaga. Short walk to the marina and beach is only 15 mins walk away too.

AC Hotel Málaga Palacio by Marriott
It was just a night. I loved how close the hotel was to everything. Didn’t get to try their breakfast or other food because I left early. But the staff seemed nice and it was clean and comfortable
