If you’re after one of the best boutique hotels in Málaga, Palacio Solecio should be high on your list. This hotel isn’t just beautiful, it’s smartly run, well-located, and loaded with quality details that matter to travelers who expect more than the basics. It was originally an 18th-century Andalusian palace. Abandoned for decades, it was completely restored and reopened in 2019. The team kept much of the original stonework and structure, but with air con, marble bathrooms, and soundproofed rooms.
The rooms come equipped with what you’d expect: solid WiFi, minibar, soft robes, rainfall showers, and parquet floors. Some offer city views, worth the upgrade. There’s a small fitness room and a 24-hour front desk, but let’s talk food.
The restaurant, helmed by José Carlos García (a Michelin-starred chef), serves refined Spanish cuisine with options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free diets. Breakfast is solid with variety and quality.
