Molina Lario Hotel

Sleek Malaga hotel with rooftop pool by the cathedral

East of the river

In the shadow of the city's enormous cathedral, Molina Lario Hotel is a stylish getaway in central Málaga on Spain's south coast. A 20-minute drive from Málaga International Airport, Molina Lario Hotel is in a convenient spot, 5 minutes' walk from the beach or port, and 10 minutes east of the river.

Picasso Museum: 5 minutes

This is Pablo Picasso's city, and the Picasso Museum explores and celebrates his work, with some of his famous pieces on permanent display. Beyond art, you can stroll along the Paseo del Parque next to the city park and visit the central shopping area, Calle Marqués de Larios.

Rooftop pool with a view

Breathtaking is the only way to describe the view from the rooftop pool, where you can sip a cocktail at the bar after you've dried off. There's live music under the stars on the terrace each weekend, and on the ground floor you'll find the inventive menus of Matiz.

Pillow menu, free WiFi

All 103 rooms are decorated in soothing soft colors designed to make you feel at home, and there's a pillow menu for a sound night's sleep. There's free WiFi, and you can grab a drink from the minibar while watching international channels on the flat-screen TV.
