Gran Hotel Miramar GL
The Gran Hotel Miramar Resort & Spa 5*GL ; located in the area of La Caleta, between Paseo de Reding avenue and the sea front, with the principal entrance facing the Mediterranean Sea, offers marvellous views over the Bay of Malaga and is just 5 minutes from the city's top museums (including the Picasso; Carmen Thyssen; Centre Pompidou and Hermitage)




It is considered the masterpiece of architect Fernando Guerrero StrachanÊs work and took five years to complete, finally being opened in 1926 by King Alfonso XIII under the name Hotel Príncipe de Asturias. From 1936 until 1939, it was used as a hospital during the Spanish Civil War. It then returned to being a hotel, under the moniker Hotel Miramar, until it closed for business in 1967. During the period of 1987 to 2007, it was used as a courthouse.

“First class in Malaga”

Our overall experience was excellent. This is a large hotel and we are used to staying in smaller places. The staff are truly brilliant - the front desk, restaurants, bar and domestic staff. It’s in a great location (directly opposite the beach) with bars and restaurants nearby and about a 15 minute walk to the centre. Our room was excellent, with a very comfortable bed and a little balcony. Although the shower was a bit strange and took us a while to figure out, but we also had a bath. Roof top bar was fantastic. Breakfast is extensive and is open until 11am, but can be very busy at the weekend. The pool was great, but our only negative was the sunbeds by the pool - they were tightly packed but there was no need for so many as there were plenty of them for everyone. We had no problem getting a sunbed.

“Excellent luxury five star stay in Malaga”

Our third or fourth stay at the Gran Miramar. An excellent base for a city break in Malaga or a stopover on an Andalusian tour. Beautifully restored palazzo opposite the sea and a short stroll to the old town and all the sites. Fantastic service from all staff from the welcome at arrival, the excellent housekeepers and all the porters and concierge. Lovely room and excellent breakfast. Good outdoor area with pool (needs to be heated tho!). Thoroughly recommend and will be back.

“Old fashioned glamour and exceptional service”

A beautiful hotel in a great location - easy access to the beach and only 10-15 minutes stroll to the harbour and the old town. Spacious rooms, beautifully equipped, plentiful breakfast options and fabulously attentive staff.

“Great stay”

Beautifully maintained hotel inside and out, it felt really special. Welcome drink. Lovely pool area and plenty of sun beds when we were there. Great breakfast with wide selection of hot and cold and lovely fresh omelettes and a great outside terrace to eat. Room was well appointed with good toiletries. We liked everything. A sea view room would be even more special but couldn’t justify the price for one night. Staff very helpful when there was a long check-in queue for an event, we were directed to a lovely lady to check us out promptly . Would stay here again. Minor points - the gate to the sea was temperamental. Maybe have slippers in the room and a smaller sized robe.

“Glorious Hotel”

When I book a 5* hotel abroad it's often, in my opinion, a four star. This hotel, however, is genuinely five star. The fabric of the place is beautiful. The bedroom, restaurant, garden and public places are first class. The staff are attentive without being intrusive. The location is perfect. I couldn't stay anywhere else but here. Yes it's expensive but worth it. My only request would be to ask the restaurant to purchase new scissors to cut open the gluten free packaging. Current ones don't work!
