Vincci Selección Posada del Patio Hotel, Málaga
Modern luxury hotel in Málaga with rooftop pool, Art Nouveau decor, direct historic site access, and three dining options
Overview
Pros
- The common spaces are airy and perfectly Mediterranean, including the Andalusian courtyard, library lounge, lobby entrance, bar, and breakfast area.
- Vincci Selección Posada del Patio Hotel has a rooftop terrace featuring a pool and lounge area with views of Old Town and the Málaga Cathedral.
- This is the only hotel with direct access to Málaga's historically preserved city walls.
- The hotel is very quiet and has efficient soundproofing in each room.
- The hotel has three on-site restaurants, including a wine-focused venue.
- The breakfast buffet here puts all others to shame, as the hotel displays bite-sized portions and individual servings like a form of art.
- The location is excellent for walking through the historic city center, but the hotel's entrance sits on a busy street.
- Because the pool area is on the smaller side, it can feel crowded during peak times.
- WiFi can be slow in different areas around the hotel.
- The in-room decor is fairly simple for a luxury property.
Kimkim's Take
Authenticity
Vincci Selección Posada del Patio Hotel channels Málaga's natural environment and history with its eye-catching decor, partly inspired by the city's Art Nouveau and Art Deco past. Natural and neutral tones of rusty oranges, gold, and green create a feeling like you've stepped into an oasis. Beneath the hotel, you'll find pieces of the city's historic brick wall on display—kind of like its own mini-museum.Location
The hotel sits on the edge of Málaga's historic Old Town, so you have the city's history at your feet the moment you leave the property. You can reach sites like the Mercado Central, Iglesia de San Juan Bautista, the Catedral de Málaga, and the Alcazaba all within 10 minutes of walking. The only downside to the location is that the hotel's entrance faces a pretty busy street, though the rooms remain quiet.Rooms & Bathrooms
The rooms fit the hotel's oasis vibe with a bright, airy, modern atmosphere and large, clean bathrooms. You'll find colorful wallpaper behind the beds and seating areas in all units, though you can upgrade to a suite for a little more space or opt for a room with a balcony. Though perfectly comfortable and aesthetic, the hotel could boost the elegance factor in the rooms since it's a 5-star property.Amenities
The hotel's common areas offer a truly elegant and calming space, including the bright outdoor patio, rooftop terrace with a plunge pool, stylish bar, breakfast nook, and library lounge. The hotel is accessible for travelers with limited mobility. It features wide, well-lit pathways, elevators, and mobility-accessible rooms.Family-Friendliness
Vincci Selección Posada del Patio Hotel is family-friendly, but there are typically more adults than children on the property. Double Rooms are best for families as these rooms can accommodate up to three travelers. Babysitting services are offered for a surcharge. The hotel is stroller-friendly.Other Highlights
The breakfast buffet looks like a gourmet restaurant, with individual portions of various local goodies displayed like art. The Tavern Restaurant serves a Malagenean menu for lunch and dinner, and Entremuros Restaurant, a wine-focused venue, serves dinner in an Art Nouveau-styled space. La Posada Food and Living is the hotel's café and bar, serving coffee, tea, beer, wine, and cocktails—look down through the floor to see the original Arab Wall of Málaga.Like what you see?
