Review

Synthesized from Forbes Travel Guide

Character and identity

Opened in December 2025 on Plaza de la Merced, ME Málaga occupies the former Cine Andalucía building and brings a clubhouse energy to the city's cultural core. Interiors lean art-forward: a lobby doubling as gallery space with Picasso and Miró works, Rafa García's low-slung seating, and a Marina Anaya welcome mural. Rooms are minimalist but polished, with floor-to-ceiling windows and many framing the port. The rooftop, with heated infinity pool eye-level with the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro, anchors the property, alongside Cañitas Maite from chefs Javier Sanz and Juan Sahuquillo, and ground-floor bar Eñe.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want to be in the thick of Málaga's old centre, with the Picasso birthplace museum, tapas bars and historic landmarks on foot. The rooftop scene, cocktail-bar-and-DJ sundowners, and ambitious cooking will appeal to anyone who treats the hotel as part of the night out.

Should look elsewhere:
Families and travellers wanting a quiet seaside retreat should book elsewhere; this is an urban property on a lively plaza, not a beach resort, and the social, see-and-be-seen rooftop is central to the experience rather than incidental.

Bottom line

The defining draw is the rooftop: a heated infinity pool, sweeping castle views, and Cañitas Maite's Spanish cooking (the Iberian ham croquettes and carabineros with lard sabayon are the headline orders). Book a port-view room, aim for a port-view category, and target the opening months when rates may still reflect a property finding its rhythm.
