Looking over the sea from the sandy Málaga waterfront, the Gran Hotel Miramar opened in 1926. At various points, it has served as a hotel, hospital, and Palace of Justice before reopening in 2016 as a luxury hotel. The property pays homage to its original design with a grand marble lobby hung with glittering chandeliers and an elaborate neo-Moorish internal courtyard.
Decorated in Arab, Mediterranean or Modernist style, the 190 rooms are all elegantly furnished to a high standard. Rooms to the front of the property offer sea views.
In front of the hotel, pleasant gardens lead down to the beach and are the setting for the large semi-heated outdoor pool, surrounded by loungers and tinkling fountains. Inside, an expansive spa boasts treatment rooms, a hammam and a Jacuzzi.
A buffet breakfast is served overlooking the gardens, with the tables set outside in the warmer months. The hotel also has a fine-dining restaurant and terrace, as well as a rooftop bar with a resident DJ at weekends.
An elegant option in the heart of Málaga, we love the refined charisma of the Gran Hotel Miramar. If you want to be on the beach but close to the convenience of a city, this is an ideal choice on the Costa del Sol.

Every room has a bath and shower, and tea- and coffee-making facilities, as well as air conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi.

There’s also a rooftop terrace with a bar area overlooking the sea, and a snack bar.
