Next to a bullring and a short walk to the beach, marina, restaurants, shops, and such cultural sights as the Picasso and Thyssen Museums, the upper-middle-range MS Maestranza is strategically situated. The 94 rooms of this Andalusian chain property pay tribute to Malaga's most famous painter -- Picasso -- with furniture inspired by his Paris era. They also come with free Wi-Fi and reasonably priced minibars. The on-site spa includes a gym, a sauna, Turkish baths, and whirlpools with scenic views over the city. The Camarote Bar is an elegant spot for cocktails, and the restaurant offers a seasonal, Mediterranean menu, along with Spanish classics. Guests recommend requesting higher-floor rooms, which offer views
of the neighboring bullring or the marina and sea. Travelers might also want to compare this to Room Mate Larios, part of the Room Mate chain, which is near the shops, restaurants, and bars on Calle Marques de Larios, but slightly farther from the beach.

Scene
Chain hotel with outdoor seating, Art Deco-inspired bar, and elegant marble lobby
Hotel MS Maestranza sits tall atop a cafe and ice cream parlor. The marble floors and
metal columns of the lobby give it a feel of old elegance, which some might consider dated. The on-site restaurant has wooden floors and wraparound glass
windows, and the elegant, Art Deco-inspired Camarote Bar is a nice spot for cocktails. The restaurant serves such classics as Basque-style
Cod and Iberian Pork, but also innovates with Mediterranean dishes and seasonal menus. The hotel has a spa with a hot tub located on the roof in
a windowed room offering city views, and there’s an outdoor terrace with lounge
chairs, where guests can take in views of Malaga Cathedral.
Location
Next to Plaza de Toros and a short walk to beach and marina

Marques de Larios, which is a 15-minute walk through a pretty tree-shaded
park. The hotel is also next to a bullring (bull-fighting season generally runs from spring through fall). The historic center, Picasso Museum, and Malaga
Cathedral are all within a 15-minute walk, and Malaga Airport is a 40-minute bus ride away.
