Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
With a cosmopolitan and elegant interior design and a legendary terrace with a pool facing the sea, Only You Málaga has everything you need.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Calle Larios begins right outside the door, and the waterfront promenade at Plaza de la Marina is just steps away.
The rooms
Blond wood and soft neutral tones give the bedrooms a calm, minimalist feel above the busy avenues.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The eighth-floor infinity pool looks across the cruise port and terracotta rooftops, fringed with sun loungers.
The gym
Rowing machines and free weights sit under a sun canopy in the 24-hour fitness studio.
Restaurant
Carmen
Carmen serves regional tapas on the ground floor, with a circular wooden cocktail bar under high arched windows.
At the table
Sonora Sky & Bites serves charcoal-grilled market dishes on the seventh floor, where terrace tables face the cathedral.
How it began
The site once held the Larios family palace before La Equitativa erected its 1950s skyscraper headquarters.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
