Description


Location. The boutique Room Mate Larios is located in Malaga, Spain, within 300 metres of the Eighth-century Moorish Alcazabar and Gibralfaro Castle, overlooking the city. Malaga's historic harbour is 400 metres away, and Malaga Airport is 10 kilometres from the hotel.
Hotel Features. This quirky hotel has an Art Deco interior contrasting with its 19th-century façade, and the lobby has a monochromic colour scheme with cylindrical pillars and a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall. The curved 24-hour front desk offers multilingual staff and a safe- deposit box, and complimentary wireless Internet access is available in the air-conditioned public areas.

The Larios Hotel provides a complimentary buffet breakfast until midday, and the in-house restaurant serves Mediterranean and Oriental-style dishes. The hotel's bar serves a range of refreshments.

Adopting a familiar approach to service, this Room Mate hotel operates an extended concierge service to assist guests in discovering Malaga. In addition to assisting with travel arrangements and tours, Larios and staff will direct guests to specific restaurants, cafes and shops that match the contemporary style of the hotel.

Guestrooms. The Art Deco theme extends to the 41 air-conditioned guestrooms. Citrus-coloured walls are matched with animal-print bedding, floor-to-ceiling windows with deep scarlet curtains, and photographic artwork. All are equipped with flatscreen satellite television, wireless Internet access, desks, direct-dial phones, safes, and minibars.

Expert Tip. Malaga was the home town of radical artist Pablo Picasso. The Picasso Museum contains works spanning his entire eight decades, while those craving more can indulge in the Picasso Foundation which houses a museum, library, and temporary exhibitions.

Great location for a visit to the Picasso Museum

The hotel was all one would expect from a 4 star and the staff was very helpful and proficient in English. The hotel entrance is located in a walking mall converted from a historical street. While this is a very convenient location for shoppers, we arrived by car and were almost ticketed for following our GPS into a pedestrian-only area. The hotel needs better instructions for those arriving by car. (Parking is a public garage about 4 blocks away and forget about dropping your luggage before parking.)

Excellent City Break

Although not part of the hotel it is worth checking out the Terrace Bar on the 5th floor which has excellent views of the Cathedral and Castle at night.

Fantastic Location

Dump the hire car. Stay there at the end and get a taxi to the airport. It's only 15 euros and saves the stress.

The signage for the entrance to the hotel is not well marked by American standards but everyone on the street knows where it is.

location, location!

It is a lovely, friendly hotel. The outstanding thing about it is its location; only a few hundred yards from the old town and cathedral and very close to lots of super restaurants and bars. Ideal for shopping too!
