Málaga Centro

Just 300 m from Malaga’s historic centre and a pleasant stroll to the beach, this modern hotel serves authentic Andalusian cuisine in its restaurant and has super stylish interiors. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. Enjoy meals in the Guernica Restaurant of the Malaga Centro. It also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla Its total surface area is 504,788 sq kms Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Here, sample some of Andalusia’s famous dishes which have a subtle Arabic influence. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Later, savour a refreshing drink in the Malaga Centro’s bar. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). After enjoying the sights and soaking up the sunshine, return for a dip in the Malaga Centro’s fabulous rooftop pool. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. You can also challenge yourself to a good workout in the well-equipped fitness centre. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. Sleep soundly within the sleek interiors of the Malaga Centro’s bedrooms. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal. They boast contemporary design with an original charm. It was this element of urban renewal that became even more evident at a later date, in the form of townplans designed to extend and enlarge the leading cities, and the construction of graceful buildings which, in keeping with the shifts and changes in architectural tastes, have helped shape the identity of Spain’s cities over the last two hundred years. Enjoy contemporary wooden furniture and bold prints in the fabrics. This contrast is also to be seen in the individual heartbeat of Spain’s cities, where surroundings, climate and daily lifestyles harmonise to lend each its own typical character and atmosphere. Soak up the fresh, sea air and lovely views from the room’s balcony. Some reveal to us a testimony to a glorious past and a monumental heritage; others, an exuberance of light and colour; and others still, the mysteries of wreathing morning mists and a horizon mantled in eternal green.
