Bottom Line
Next to a bullring and a short walk to the beach, marina, restaurants, shops, and such cultural sights as the Picasso and Thyssen Museums, the upper-middle-range MS Maestranza is strategically situated. The 94 rooms of this Andalusian chain property pay tribute to Malaga's most famous painter -- Picasso -- with furniture inspired by his Paris era. They also come with free Wi-Fi and reasonably priced minibars. The on-site spa includes a gym, a sauna, Turkish baths, and whirlpools with scenic views over the city. The Camarote Bar is an elegant spot for cocktails, and the restaurant offers a seasonal, Mediterranean menu, along with Spanish classics. Guests recommend requesting higher-floor rooms, which offer views of the neighboring bullring or the marina and sea. Travelers might also want to compare this to Room Mate Larios, part of the Room Mate chain, which is near the shops, restaurants, and bars on Calle Marques de Larios, but slightly farther from the beach.

Chain hotel with outdoor seating, Art Deco-inspired bar, and elegant marble lobby
Hotel MS Maestranza sits tall atop a cafe and ice cream parlor. The marble floors and metal columns of the lobby give it a feel of old elegance, which some might consider dated. The on-site restaurant has wooden floors and wraparound glass windows, and the elegant, Art Deco-inspired Camarote Bar is a nice spot for cocktails. The restaurant serves such classics as Basque-style Cod and Iberian Pork, but also innovates with Mediterranean dishes and seasonal menus. The hotel has a spa with a hot tub located on the roof in a windowed room offering city views, and there’s an outdoor terrace with lounge chairs, where guests can take in views of Malaga Cathedral.
