Malabar by Petit Palace

Malabar by Petit Palace is a mid-range hotel at Calle Tomás Heredia, 13, in the Soho district of Málaga, the arts quarter that lies between the Guadalmedina riverbed, the port and the Paseo del Parque. The area is known for street art on building walls, the Centre Pompidou Málaga and the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), and it is a short walk from the old town. From the hotel, the cathedral and Calle Larios are about 15 minutes on foot, and the María Zambrano station is a similar distance to the west. The Muelle Uno port promenade and the Malagueta beach can be reached on foot or by a short taxi ride. The hotel is part of the Petit Palace group, a Spanish brand that typically offers design-led rooms, technology-friendly features and a casual urban tone. Listed rates range from about €80 to €190 per night, and guest ratings average around 4.3. Rooms are listed as double, twin, superior and family types, with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi as stated amenities. No restaurant, pool or spa is listed, so the hotel functions as a comfortable base for visitors who eat out; Soho and the neighbouring streets hold many cafés, brunch places and tapas bars, and the Atarazanas market is within walking distance for fresh produce and seafood bars. The service character is that of an urban leisure hotel, suitable for couples, solo travellers and small families, with a contemporary approach rather than formal concierge service. The phone number on record is +34 952 606 703. Because Soho has become a nightlife area as well as a gallery district, guests who prefer quiet should ask for a room away from the street. Walking is the practical way to explore, and the flat terrain between Soho, the port and the old town makes the hotel convenient for visitors travelling light.
