Authenticity

Vincci Selección Posada del Patio Hotel channels Málaga's natural environment and history with its eye-catching decor, partly inspired by the city's Art Nouveau and Art Deco past. Natural and neutral tones of rusty oranges, gold, and green create a feeling like you've stepped into an oasis. Beneath the hotel, you'll find pieces of the city's historic brick wall on display—kind of like its own mini-museum.

Location

The hotel sits on the edge of Málaga's historic Old Town, so you have the city's history at your feet the moment you leave the property. You can reach sites like the Mercado Central, Iglesia de San Juan Bautista, the Catedral de Málaga, and the Alcazaba all within 10 minutes of walking. The only downside to the location is that the hotel's entrance faces a pretty busy street, though the rooms remain quiet.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The rooms fit the hotel's oasis vibe with a bright, airy, modern atmosphere and large, clean bathrooms. You'll find colorful wallpaper behind the beds and seating areas in all units, though you can upgrade to a suite for a little more space or opt for a room with a balcony. Though perfectly comfortable and aesthetic, the hotel could boost the elegance factor in the rooms since it's a 5-star property.

Amenities

The hotel's common areas offer a truly elegant and calming space, including the bright outdoor patio, rooftop terrace with a plunge pool, stylish bar, breakfast nook, and library lounge. The hotel is accessible for travelers with limited mobility. It features wide, well-lit pathways, elevators, and mobility-accessible rooms. 

Family-Friendliness

Vincci Selección Posada del Patio Hotel is family-friendly, but there are typically more adults than children on the property. Double Rooms are best for families as these rooms can accommodate up to three travelers. Babysitting services are offered for a surcharge. The hotel is stroller-friendly.

Other Highlights

The breakfast buffet looks like a gourmet restaurant, with individual portions of various local goodies displayed like art. The Tavern Restaurant serves a Malagenean menu for lunch and dinner, and Entremuros Restaurant, a wine-focused venue, serves dinner in an Art Nouveau-styled space. La Posada Food and Living is the hotel's café and bar, serving coffee, tea, beer, wine, and cocktails—look down through the floor to see the original Arab Wall of Málaga.
