If you’re after front-row seats to Málaga’s greatest hits, AC Hotel by Marriott Málaga Palacio delivers. Sandwiched between the Cathedral and the lush Paseo del Parque, this spot is as central as it gets—perfect for exploring Picasso’s legacy, strolling to the Alcazaba, or hitting La Malagueta beach.
