Eat, drink and be spirited away in this traditional Andalusian palace
Set in Málaga’s Old Town, Palacio Solecio is an 18th-century palace featuring original elements. Classic in architectural style, you’re greeted by glimpses of the hotel’s past from the moment you enter the lobby. The stone staircase then leads you up to the first floor, where the relaxing décor of the rooms, suites and function spaces fuses historical character with contemporary comfort.
Upstairs and down, boutique Palacio Solecio wraps you up in a warm Andalusian atmosphere. Located on the rooftop, the swimming pool offers terrace views, with a backdrop of the Santiago Church tower. Indulge in an array of refreshing cocktails at the new terrace bar, La Terraza de Solecio, whether lounging on a sunbed or seated at a table.
In the main courtyard, Balausta Restaurant boasts elegance, décor and fresh cuisine from the South of Spain. Experience a menu that features delicate dishes made with local, seasonal ingredients. Afterwards, head to the Cocktail Bar to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of delicious local wine.

Beautiful palace turned hotel
