Petit Palace Plaza Malaga Hotel

Petit Palace Plaza Málaga Hotel is a 4-star hotel in Málaga’s historic centre. It’s a straightforward walk to the waterfront, transition zones and race venues, making early starts and race logistics easy to manage.

Arriving here feels calm and welcoming, with a smart city building just off the main square and a relaxed reception area where you can settle in quickly. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, with simple communal spaces that make it easy to unwind, organise your kit and plan your race days without distractions.

You’re staying on a bed and breakfast board basis, with a daily buffet that works well for athletes.
