Petit Palace La Hermosa

Petit Palace La Hermosa is a mid-range hotel at Alameda de Colón 5, close to the Alameda Principal and the western edge of the historic centre of Málaga in Andalusia, Spain. The location is a few minutes' walk from Calle Marqués de Larios, the cathedral, Plaza de la Constitución, the Picasso Museum and the Alcazaba, and the port and Muelle Uno are close by. The Malagueta beach can be reached on foot in about twenty minutes, while the María Zambrano station is roughly a twenty-minute walk or a short taxi ride. The airport lies about eight kilometres from the centre and is served by train, bus and taxi. Part of the Petit Palace brand, the hotel offers compact, contemporary rooms with a focus on practicality, technology and a relaxed, informal service rather than formal luxury, in a building that fits the historic character of the district. Rooms are classed as double rooms, twin rooms, superior rooms and family rooms, with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the superior rooms offer additional space. The hotel does not list a pool, spa or restaurant among its amenities, so meals are mostly taken in the surrounding streets, which hold plenty of tapas bars, cafés and restaurants, as well as the Mercado de Atarazanas, which is a popular place for fresh produce and small bites. Breakfast is generally served on site, and staff can provide advice on attractions, tickets and excursions to Granada, Ronda or the Caminito del Rey. The service character is friendly and efficient, aimed at leisure travellers, couples, small families and business visitors seeking a central base at a moderate price. Rates typically run from about €80 to €190 per night, with the highest prices in Semana Santa, the August Feria and summer weekends. Visitors arriving by car should enquire about parking in advance, since the central district has restricted access and public car parks nearby charge daily fees.
