Andalucia Diary – Seasonal Travel Notes

The Gran Hotel Miramar, the long-awaited 5 star deluxe hotel, has finally opened in Malaga capital. It’s still having the finishing touches made to its terraces and spa, but it is open to the public.

Here’s a peak, via my instagram gallery @luxurynavigator

 

I'm back in Andalucia 🙂 These are the Mediterranean gardens @ghmiramarmalaga – Málaga's new 5-star deluxe property. Originally opened in 1926 as the 'Hotel Príncipe de Asturias', it was closed during the civil war and the crown above the entrance was destroyed. Since being a war hospital, and then city law courts the hotel is looking to be back on track to regain its glamorous credentials as a exclusive hotel; and a royal crown is once again above the entrance. The front terrace pool area, spa & roof terrace and about 15 rooms have yet to be completed but the property is open. (I enjoyed a sneek peak with the Sales Director; although the property is in soft opening phase with mainly corporate clients etc. We bumped into the Mayor of Málaga also enjoying a tour 🙂 . . . #granhotelmiramar #malaga #andalucia #spain #visitmalaga #luxuryhotels #luxurytravel #luxurynavigator #gardens #mediterranean #wintersun #january #palms #architecture #history #hotels #travel #instatravel

View from the Gran Hotel Miramar Malaga – the terrace may not yet be completed but the outlook yesterday needed little improvement. Sunshine so bright, reflecting from the white marble floor and plaster walls, it hurt my eyes! Let's hope @hotelessantos offers Málaga the deluxe property it deserves. . . . #granhotelmiramar #malaga #andalucia #spain #hotels #luxuryhotels #luxurynavigator #luxury #newhotel #mediterranean #sea #seaview #terrace
