Room Mate Larios

The unbeatable location of one of Malaga’s coolest designer hotels means it is also a popular hang-out for Malagueños, who crowd into its trendy bar at the weekend for cocktails. The 41-room hotel is situated a two-minute stroll from Plaza Constitución, the old town’s most central square, and directly on the glossy shopping-boulevard that is Calle Marques Larios (named after a former mayor of Malaga). The interiors are bold and contemporary, heavily favouring a smart black-and-white colour scheme, and a stunning roof terrace overlooks the single tower of Malaga’s great cathedral.
