Anahita Boutique Hotel
With Anahita Boutique Hotel, you can stay in a building that completes part of the city's old 15th-century wall and moat. You'll find historical elements like preserved frescoes and exposed brick, which you can admire in the common areas and some rooms. The hotel's main highlight is the restaurant, serving a continental breakfast (though only from 7:30 to 8:30 am), lunch, and dinner. Chef Sergio Garrido uses traditional recipes and techniques that play with the city's culinary roots and international flavors.
With just 16 rooms, Anahita Boutique Hotel provides a calm, relaxed environment with bright, modern, and clean rooms. Some have historical details, with wood-beamed ceilings, tiled flooring, and preserved frescoes. You can also book rooms with soaking tubs or duplex units with a bedroom upstairs. Bathrooms are just as clean and bright, with gold fixtures and details.
The hotel's location makes it easy to explore the city on foot. You'll be less than a block from the cafe-lined Plaza de la Merced and right around the corner from where Picasso was born. If you have a car, the Alcazaba's public parking is just down the street, as is the Alcazaba itself, plus the Teatro Romano and the path to reach Castillo de Gibralfaro. You can also easily walk to the waterfront and city beaches. Learn more
El Museo Living & Experience Club
For a unique stay, look no farther than El Museo, known as "The Museum" and described as a "living and experience club." This accommodation features original or vintage mid-century furnishings and contemporary art displays in its apartments. Each of the 30 apartments (studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom) is an individual art exhibit. All have kitchens with SMEG appliances, dining areas, and living rooms, though the duplex penthouse has a private terrace, and the two-bedroom option can sleep up to six people.
Enjoy sipping drinks in the Le Corbusier Club, a trendy library lounge with art displays, or relax on the rooftop terrace with a sun deck, umbrellas, lounge furniture, and a large jacuzzi. You can grab drinks from the Prouvé honesty bar while enjoying views of the Cathedral, Alcazaba, and Gibralfaro Castle.
El Museo is on a quiet street, Calle Madre de Dios, that leads right to the buzzy and café-lined Plaza de la Merced and runs parallel to the childhood home of Picasso. You'll be within walking distance of many restaurants, grocery stores, and sites like the Cathedral, Alcazaba, Teatro Romano, Castillo de Gibralfaro, and Málaga Park. Learn more

Hotel Boutique Teatro Romano
Step outside the hotel, and you'll be among the city's ancient history, kitty-corner from the Teatro Romano and Alcazaba. Hotel Boutique Teatro Romano offers rooms with views of these historic sites, plus a filling breakfast buffet in a charming dining area. Enjoy being steps from the city's major sites, plus within walking distance of other attractions, like the Cathedral, waterfront, and city beaches.
The hotel's façade perfectly exhibits Málaga's charming history with iron balconies, tall shutters, and curved top-floor windows. The rooms are bright and modern but still channel the property's history with molding and neutral tones. Standard rooms are fairly small, some with a sink in the room rather than the bathroom, so we recommend choosing a larger double room or suite. Bathrooms are basic and small but come with toiletries from the French company Algotherm (which uses ingredients from the sea). Learn more
Madeinterranea Suites
Choose from standard double rooms or apartments with one or two bedrooms at Madeinterranea Suites. You'll find the two accommodation options in separate buildings about a six-minute walk from one another, on Calle Andrés Pérez or Calle Liborio García. Either way, you'll be right in the city's historic center and within walking distance of all the sites, including the Cathedral, Alcazaba, Teatro Romano, Mercado Central, Castillo de Gibralfaro, and the waterfront with its beaches and promenades.
The rooms have historical details like wood-beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls, and you'll find the breakfast area in the Calle Andrés Pérez house's inner courtyard with columns and archways. The standard rooms are simple yet clean and bright, with light wood, white furnishings, and occasional pops of colors. The bathrooms are squeaky clean with fun tiling.
The apartments on Calle Liborio García provide comfy furnishings with a bit more character, plus larger bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and balconies or terraces. Some balconies face the inner courtyard, so choose a unit facing the street if you want better views. Learn more
