ME Malaga

I didn’t stay the night here, but I did visit the roof terrace twice during my stay in Málaga. Friendly service, a wide selection and a fantastic view!

My partner and I stayed at the ME Malaga in early March. Being a fan of high end hotels, I was excited to see this new opening, and while the property is visually spectacular and pristine, there are a few "new hotel" growing pains to be aware of. The Room & Design: We stayed in a suite on a high floor overlooking the Alcazaba. The design is beautiful, featuring curated art and a very open-plan layout. The Good: The soundproofing is elite—it blocks out about 95% of street noise, making the room ultra-quiet. The windows are glazed so you have total privacy from the outside. The bed is extremely spacious, and the room includes high-end touches like Marshall speakers and a spacious area for luggage storage. The bathroom is open-plan with a lovely bathtub right in the room. The Details: We were well looked after with a bottle of cava and daily water. There is an "expanded" mini-bar, but be careful: there was no price list provided, so it’s best to check costs with staff first to avoid surprises. Facilities & Location: You couldn't ask for a better location; it’s incredibly central and within walking distance of all major tourist attractions. Rooftop & Gym: The rooftop is spacious and beautiful, though it does get quite busy during the day. The gym is small but excellent—it was virtually empty every time we visited. Service: The staff are exceptionally welcoming and took the time to show us every detail of our room upon arrival. However, you can tell the team is quite new; while they are very attentive, there is a general sense of inexperience typical of a fresh opening. Points for Improvement: Meliá Members: Note that the ME brand doesn't offer the separate priority check-in that Meliá Gold members might be used to at other properties. Breakfast: The breakfast bar looks amazing and they do eggs to order, but the vegetarian range is very poor. It really needs more cooked vegetarian/dairy-free options. Room Choice: I would strongly recommend avoiding the courtyard view rooms, as they seem to lack natural light and have no view. Value: It is definitely on the pricey side. While it’s one of the best city hotels I’ve stayed in, the price point felt high even for the shoulder season in March. Final Verdict: A fantastic, brand-new hotel for a luxury weekend break if you want to be in the heart of the city. However, if the beach is your primary goal, you might find properties directly on the coast more suitable. It was a great stay in a beautiful room, though at this price point, I’m not 100% sure if I would return.

Nuestra experiencia en el hotel ME Meliá de Málaga ha sido, sencillamente, excepcional en todos los sentidos. Desde el primer momento se percibe un nivel de excelencia difícil de igualar: disciplina, atención al detalle, cortesía, amabilidad y un trato impecable que hacen que la estancia sea inolvidable. Queremos destacar especialmente la labor de Rocío Galán, responsable del área de dirección de operaciones en Andalucía. Hemos tenido la oportunidad de verla implicarse directamente en el día a día del hotel: desde estar pendiente de cada cliente hasta incluso involucrarse en cocina si es necesario. Su forma de trabajar demuestra con hechos —no solo con palabras— que es una profesional comprometida, emprendedora y absolutamente dedicada a su negocio. Sin duda, una persona que representa a Meliá en Andalucía con total orgullo y excelencia. Y no podemos dejar de mencionar a José, el conserje. Probablemente la persona más encantadora que hemos encontrado en todos nuestros viajes por el mundo. Desde nuestra llegada, su atención ha sido extraordinaria: nos acompañó a conocer la habitación, nos recomendó restaurantes con un criterio impecable y ha estado siempre disponible, incluso facilitándonos su contacto personal para cualquier necesidad. Su amabilidad y cercanía son, simplemente, inigualables. En definitiva, un hotel que ofrece una garantía del 100% en todos los aspectos. Repetiríamos sin ninguna duda.

Their kindness and friendliness are simply unmatched. In short, a hotel that offers a 100% guarantee in every aspect. We would definitely return.

Estancia de 10 en Málaga No podemos estar más contentos con nuestra experiencia en este hotel. La ubicación es inmejorable en pleno centro, con todo a mano para disfrutar de la ciudad. Pero, sin duda, lo mejor ha sido el trato de todo el equipo desde la persona que se encarga del coche, recepción, y José que nos ofreció una visita por las Cofradías muy interesante. Además, tuvimos la suerte de vivir algo único: nos permitieron acceder a la primera planta para ver las procesiones, ¡y se veían de maravilla! Fue un detalle increíble que hizo nuestra estancia aún más especial. También os aconsejo comer en el restaurante del hotel Cañitas Maite que disfrutamos mucho y el rooftop espectacular con vistas a la Alcazaba.

Espectacular! El hotel que Málaga necesitaba! Hacía falta un sitio así en la ciudad. Las vistas son de otro mundo: tienes la Alcazaba y la Catedral justo ahí, y la piscina transparente es, sencillamente, impresionante. Un detallazo que tengan cerveza sin alcohol de grifo, que está riquísima y no es fácil de encontrar. (Translated by Google) Spectacular! The hotel Málaga needed! The city definitely needed a place like this. The views are out of this world: you have the Alcazaba and the Cathedral right there, and the crystal-clear pool is simply breathtaking. A really nice touch that they have non-alcoholic beer on tap, which is delicious and not easy to find.
