A perfect location for all that Malaga has to offer
The roof top bar has breath taking views of the Marina and out to the beech . whilst the cathedral is a stones throw away as is the castle and Roman ruins

This was a wonderful place to stay! It had beautiful views and the rooms were clean, spacious and well appointed. The location was very close to everything we wanted to see. My only complaint was that although the staff were always trying to be helpful sometimes their English resulted in miscommunication - perhaps a dedicated concierge would be helpful. When we come again we will definitely consider staying here again.

Excellent stay right in the center of the historic area. Amazing location, right across from the boardwalk for morning walks/runs and next to the Malaga Cathedral. Quality was second to none as you would expect from Marriott. Staff kind and courteous.
