Petit Palace La Equitativa

Petit Palace La Equitativa is a mid-range hotel at Alameda Principal 3, on the main boulevard that borders the western side of the historic centre of Málaga in Andalusia, Spain. The address places the hotel next to the start of Calle Marqués de Larios, and within a few minutes' walk of the cathedral, Plaza de la Constitución, the Picasso Museum and the Alcazaba. The port and Muelle Uno are about five to ten minutes away on foot, the Malagueta beach about fifteen to twenty, and the María Zambrano station is roughly a twenty-minute walk or a short taxi ride. The airport is about eight kilometres from the city and linked by train and bus. The name refers to the historic La Equitativa building, a notable early twentieth-century structure on the boulevard, and the hotel combines its architectural character with the compact, contemporary style typical of the Petit Palace brand. Rooms are offered as double rooms, twin rooms, superior rooms and family rooms, with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and some provide views over the Alameda. There is no pool, spa or restaurant listed among the amenities, so guests normally eat in the surrounding streets, where tapas bars, cafés and restaurants are plentiful. Breakfast is usually available on site, and staff can advise on tickets, day trips to Granada, Ronda or Nerja, and local restaurants. The service style is friendly and efficient, aimed at leisure travellers, couples, families and short-stay business guests who want a central address at a moderate price. Typical rates run from about €80 to €190 per night, rising in Semana Santa, the August Feria and the summer high season. As the Alameda is a busy traffic artery, street-facing rooms may receive noise, and guests who value quiet can request a room on a higher floor or on the interior side of the building.
