Founded by the Phoenicians, Malaga is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has been a key tourist spot in Spain since the 1960s. With a vast artistic and cultural heritage, you’ll find everything from famous museums to Roman and Andalusian remains. If what attracts you to the city is the pleasant weather,  Playa de la Malagueta is just 20 minutes from the Catalonia Puerta del Mar. You can walk there to enjoy the sea, the sand and the lively boardwalk.  

Whatever the reason for your visit, if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Malaga city centre, our hotel, comprising three buildings with a main entrance on calle Puerta del Mar, awaits you. We have preserved the facades and main decorative elements such as the lintels, friezes and balconies with cast-iron railings, for their major historical value. In addition to the effort to preserve this architectural complex in the city, at Catalonia we implement sustainable measures across our hotels to improve efficiency and reduce our environmental footprint. Among the most outstanding features are LED lighting throughout, VRV air conditioning with heat recovery, state-of-the-art lifts and a greywater treatment system for reuse in toilet flushing. 

All the rooms at the Catalonia Puerta del Mar have been designed to craft a welcoming vibe. You’ll love the minimalist style combining wood with elegant neutral tones. The rooms also feature innovative home automation technology for greater comfort during your stay. For example, you can listen to music by connecting your phone to the Bluetooth speaker system or use the touch panel at the entrance to indicate whether you want your room to be cleaned.  

After waking up each morning, recharge your batteries before starting the day with our complete buffet breakfast. Enjoy eggs to order at the live cooking station, as well as bacon and other freshly prepared dishes. Have a break during the day at our Gastrobar, whether after visiting any of Malaga’s renowned museums or sunbathing on one of the beaches along its extensive coastline. Take time out for a coffee, enjoy a high-end snack or relax with a cocktail made by our bartenders. If you prefer to stay in your room, call for  room service and we’ll provide you with our food and drink menu.
