Scene
Modern and well-kept hotel with gorgeous rooftop views
What's mostly black and white with hints of red all over? Salles Hotel Malaga Centro. Thanks to a refurbishment in 2016, the hotel is largely modern and done in a stylish color palette, though a few rooms retained the classic look. The lobby is adorned in shades of black, white, and gray, with pops of red in leather seating and large floor vases. Patterned wallpaper, chandeliers, and marble flooring are attractive touches, though the real highlight is found on the roof. Gorgeous city vistas are provided at the rooftop plunge pool, bar, and solarium with sunbeds. However, some past guests have complained of late-night noise from the bar.

Rooms
Classic or modern rooms with AC, minibars, and kettles
Rooms are comfortable and clean, outfitted in either a classic style or modern black-and-white look. The former have cream wooden furniture, wood floors, gray walls with old-fashioned artwork, and mismatched patterned black-and-white linens that feel a bit busy. Contemporary units, meanwhile, have black wooden furniture, the same linens, and red leather seating. While some units have lovely city views and balconies, others have small windows and unattractive wall vistas. Additionally, some rooms are on the small side. Despite their aesthetic differences, all rooms promise many of the same amenities, including air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, work desks, and minibars. Marble bathrooms come with shower/tub combos or walk-in showers, plus hairdryers, free toiletries, and bidets. Note that some past guests have complained of noise from outside and the rooftop bar.
