For a taste of the region, La Santa María Gastrobar offers "travel cakes" and innovative tapas that blend Malagueño flavours with international flair. If you fancy a drink with a view, head up to the B-Heaven rooftop terrace to sip a cocktail while the sun sets over the Malaga skyline. You can choose from Bed and Breakfast or Half Board meal plans to suit your travel style.
Pools and Spa
Take a break from the urban bustle at the rooftop terrace, featuring a refreshing swimming pool where you can take a dip while overlooking the Cathedral and the sea. The hotel also features a well-equipped fitness centre and a sauna to help you unwind after a day of sightseeing. Please note that the use of the sauna and any specific wellness treatments may be subject to additional charges.
Beach
The nearest sandy stretch, San Andrés Beach, is approx. a 15-minute walk or a short 5-minute drive from your door. As this is a public beach, you’ll find plenty of local "chiringuitos" (beach bars) along the promenade. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available on the beach at an extra charge from local providers.
Sport and Entertainment
Stay active in the on-site gym which features modern cardio and resistance equipment. As evening falls, the hotel transforms into a social hub; the rooftop bar is the place to be for a chic atmosphere and ambient music. Being located right in the station, you are also perfectly placed to hop on a local train for a quick trip to the nearby golf courses or coastal towns.
Family Amenities
While the hotel has a sophisticated feel, families are more than welcome. Kids will absolutely love the unique indoor slide, and the spacious family rooms provide plenty of room for everyone to relax. Its location within the station means no long walks with luggage, and you’re within walking distance of the city's main parks and the interactive Music Museum.
