Mariposa Hotel

Mariposa Hotel is a mid-range property at Calle Casas de Campos, 17, in the Soho district of Málaga, a short walk from the Paseo del Parque, the port and the old town. Soho is the city's arts quarter, known for large-scale murals, the Centre Pompidou Málaga with its coloured glass cube at Muelle Uno, and a growing number of independent cafés and galleries. From the hotel the cathedral and Calle Larios are about ten to fifteen minutes on foot, and the María Zambrano railway station is about the same distance in the opposite direction, which makes the location practical for both sightseeing and arrivals by train. Listed rates run from roughly €70 to €170 per night, and the hotel holds a guest rating around 4.3. The building offers double, twin, superior and family rooms with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The amenities record does not list a restaurant, pool or spa, so dining is done in the surrounding streets, where tapas bars, bakeries and brunch cafés are abundant, and the Atarazanas market is within walking distance for local produce. The hotel has a website at mariposahm.com and the phone number on record is +34 952 579 300. The service style is that of a small, contemporary city hotel serving couples, solo travellers and small families who want a central but slightly less crowded base than Calle Larios. Because Soho is also an evening destination with bars and live music, guests who prefer quiet may ask for a room away from the street. The nearby Paseo del Parque, a palm-lined botanical promenade, and the Muelle Uno port area provide easy walks, and the beaches of La Malagueta can be reached on foot or with a short taxi ride. The flat terrain of the area means most points of interest in the centre are accessible without relying on public transport.
