Intimate and steeped in history, this member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World label, located in an 18th century Andalusian palace, challenges all preconceived ideas about the city of Malaga.

Often criticised for its hordes of tourists and its concrete surroundings, <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/travel/la-zambra-iconic-andalusian-address-to-discover-all-year-round" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Malaga</a> was until now seen as a great forgotten place when you ventured onto the Costa del Sol.
Big mistake: vibrant, colourful and sunny all year round, the capital of the eponymous province of Malaga is well worth the detour provided you go outside the summer period.
The only downside? The few sophisticated addresses that it still has in terms of hotels.
The only exception to this relatively limited hospitality landscape is the Palacio Solecio, one of the insider secrets that tourists passing through the city of Malague&ntilde;a pass on to each other under the radar.
Nestled in the heart of the old town in the Centro Historico, this confidential address of 116 rooms and suites located in a magnificently restored 18th century Andalusian palace enjoys an unrivaled location, a stone's throw from the Alcazaba and the long beaches that border the city.
Formerly called the Palacio Marqu&eacute;s de la Sonora, the place was the residence of F&eacute;lix Solesio, a renowned papermaker and influential local figure.
Arranged around the central patio, the rooms with their high ceilings are perfectly arranged and dotted with touches of colour that elegantly evoke the Andalusian DNA of the place. For a cocktail with an unparalleled view of the Iglesia de Santiago, head to the rooftop Terraza de Solecio, where the hotel's swimming pool is located.
The ideal prelude to a dinner at Balausta, a hotel restaurant whose reputation extends far beyond the borders of Malaga.
In the enchanting setting of its patio bathed in light and its majestic arcades, we savor the culinary choreographies perfectly timed by the house chefs, who take us to discover traditional Andalusian cuisine, from succulent croquetas of Malaga prawns to Malague&ntilde;o gazpacho with lobster, including Iberian pork cheek cannelloni and succulent local lamb shoulder.
An authentic and inspired exploration of the local terroir, an experience enhanced by impeccable and attentive service.
61 Calle Granada, 29015 M&aacute;laga
