Palacio Solecio is a boutique hotel housed in a historic palace building at Calle Granada 61, in the Centro Histórico of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. The street is one of the old town's traditional axes, running from Plaza de la Merced area towards the cathedral, and the hotel is within a few minutes' walk of the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba, the Roman theatre and Calle Marqués de Larios. Most major sights of the city centre are therefore reachable without transport, and the beach at La Malagueta takes about twenty minutes on foot. The María Zambrano station is roughly a twenty-five-minute walk or a short taxi ride, and the airport is about eight kilometres away. The palace character is central to the identity of the property: a restored historic building with period details combined with contemporary comfort, giving a refined, residential atmosphere that differs from the larger chain hotels nearby. Rooms are offered as double rooms, superior rooms, junior suites and suites, all with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the room count is limited, which supports a personal level of service. A restaurant is available on the premises, and breakfast is usually served in an elegant setting with Spanish and local products. A concierge assists with reservations, guided tours of the old town, tickets for the museums and excursions to Ronda, Granada and the Caminito del Rey. The service style is discreet and attentive, targeting couples, culture-minded travellers and guests who value history and design over resort facilities; there is no large spa or pool listed among its amenities. Prices typically run from about €150 to €320 per night, with higher rates in Semana Santa, summer and the August Feria, when the old town is busiest. As with many buildings of this age in a historic district, room sizes and layouts vary, and guests may wish to ask about specific room types when booking.
