Barcelo Malaga
Modern hotel located inside new AVE station.
This hotel is positioned between the old centre and the beach, inside the AVE station which links the city by high-speed train with Seville, Cordoba and Madrid. Ideal for a morning departure or evening arrival, it offers the closest rooms within staggering distance of the train platform; also handy for the airport, which has a train service to the station. The 221 sound-proofed rooms are decorated in chic minimalist white, with pixel-type mosaic designs.
The hotel also has 1500m2 of meeting rooms, for business or social events, as well as a fitness centre and sauna. Its award-winning restaurant serves fresh, seasonal dishes, and other facilities include a lounge bar, accessed in an unusual fashion (see below), and a cocktail terrace with furniture in traffic-light colours: lime green, bright orange and red. Avoid an embarrassing colour clash by being sure to coordinate your outfit with your chair (or vice-versa). Located close to the Centro de Arte Contemporaneo de Malaga.
