Built in 1932, this listed building preserves much of its historic charm. It has over 3,500m² of public areas, gardens and terraces.

Rooms at the Hotel Castillo de Santa Catalina feature a plasma TV, marble or tiled bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and unique décor. The hotel offers spectacular views over Málaga Bay.

Wonderful building in a relaxed area of Malaga. Even so most people will arrive by car (free parking / even a wall box) public transport (bus) was also easy for me. Nice view and garden to sit. Interesting histroy of the building as well. The beach is close and a bit less crowded compared the beach opposite to the harbor. Very nice staff and personal treatment. Recommanded!

The Málaga Picasso Hotel is set near Guadalmar Beach and just 2.5 km from Málaga Airport. An outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub are set within attractive gardens. Free WiFi is provided.

Rooms at the hotel are simply decorated and feature air conditioning and tiled, terracotta floors. Rooms have access to the gardens and swimming pool.

This little hotel will definitely be our favorite Airport hotel in the future 👍 It’s small and situated in a calm area although it’s near the Airport, and of course you can hear some noise, but it’s no problem and not at all inside the room. The garden and pool area is beautiful and well kept 👍 If you are there for a short stay, you may not want to look for special restaurants in the surroundings. Luckily it’s possible to get som good food from a small menu card and lovely mojitos 😋 The room was spacious enough to all our equipment with luggage and golf bags, and there is very clean all over.

    Simply awesome hotel! And when I’m saying “awesome” it’s literally about everything there - from breakfast to personnel, from location to interior design.One of the best hotels I’ve ever visited. It’s stunningly stylish and elegant. The location is excellent - just few minutes walk to the center and all sightseeing, as well as very little tapas bar opposite to the hotel. The personnel is ready to help, even we’ve got a room upgrade with no reason. I strongly recommend it.
