"Housed in a restored 1789 palace in Málaga’s historic center, this four-star property offers spacious, elegant rooms with marble bathrooms and facilities that include a cozy lobby bar, two meeting rooms, a gym, and a restaurant with a menu by Michelin-starred chef José Carlos García. I appreciated the rooftop pool with striking views in the heart of the Judería neighborhood; the hotel sits opposite the historic Santiago church on the popular Calle Granada and is just steps from the cathedral and several museums including the Museo Picasso Málaga." - Marta Sader
"Have one more regal stay at the Palacio Solecio, an 18th-century palace-turned-hotel. The hotel is as glamorous as you'd imagine, with four-poster beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to spacious patios, and deep soaking tubs in the bathrooms. The hotel's central location makes for easy access to some of the city's most sought-after sites, including Santiago Church, just a few feet away." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"The aesthetic antidote to the Costa del Sol’s massive resort developments might just be found in Málaga’s historic city center, where an 18th-century palace and an adjoining mansion have been combined together and thoroughly reimagined as the modern-meets-classic Palacio Solecio. The resulting hotel is as luxurious as any new build, but its centuries of history lend it a depth of character no modern resort hotel can match." - Tablet Hotels
