Gran Hotel Miramar GL
What a hotel! By far the best in Malaga with superb staff, great quality service and amenities. We went for a drink on the roof top terrace, ended up staying for a delicious dinner too. Rooms are spacious and quiet too. We will definitely be back. Can't recommend highly enough!
